    this website calculates how much poke or otherwise you will get by changing width and offset

    Ive got 19 x 8's +35 all round. Fronts sit pretty much dead flush with the gaurds, but I'd like the rears to be another 5-8mm further out so theyd sit flush too.

    I have 18*8 ET45, but it sucks and rubs on the coilovers. Now have 17*7 ET25 and 17*9 ET20. fronts are flush, rears poke. You have way to much to spend on your car! im a bit jealous!!

    going by that, the new wheels i got today gave me an extra 26mm of width
    (went from 16x6.5" et42 to 18x8" and et35)
    obviously not used to it because i just hit the edge or a roundabout that i use everyday! (no damage)

    18x8 or 8.5 ET 35 fronts / 18x9 or 9.5 ET 35 rears fit the mk4 perfect. I think 17's are to small for mk4's- but thats me.

    yeh im thinking 17's are a bit to small myself but if these rims get sold before i get a chance to get them in 3 weeks then its back to wheelboyz when i can get there to see what else has come in from the states or what they have on offer for me to buy

    I run 18x8 +30, with 225/40's, there's some pics on the last page of my thread if you want to see how they sit

    I think you should wait to get some 18s, especially since you're running a bodykit.
