The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

What popcorn said.

Previous evidence from Avdo (= reliable source) suggested at x 8.5 ET44 the rear was flush and front had a few mm poke. Note this was on R suspension.

This thread has generally accepted x 8.5 ET45 as being the right measure which is the most common VMR fitment as well. The fact the 708s are actually ET48 is perfect.

Having said that we are talking small details and personal tastes - I was just fine at x 8 ET48 for practical performance - I live vicariously through the thread.

For example:







Or for sheer effort, even if not a Mk7:

8.5et35 will result in a bit of poke which makes your car defectable if you happen to get pulled over by hwp. Flush is generally about 8.5et45 so you wouldn't want to go much more aggressive than that (unless defects don't concern you). 8.5et48 will also fit in nicely.

If your car is lowered, you will experience a bit of camber from the lowering which will allow you a few more mm of offset too.

8.5et45 sounds perfect then. I plan to put some of those VMR springs on. I don't want to go aggressive - just give it a cleaner, more aggressive presence. Thanks for the advice

Who knew what I was starting.. well, here's to another 2000 into the future, starting with a cool preview that made me smile:
