Reply With QuoteThat offset is damn close to everything. The current wheels clear the calipers by about 2mm.

ray is correct - smaller hub @ 56.0 as opposed to our 57.1.
also you will need to check offset. on a golf ET 35 is what you are looking for. anything less and you'll rub your guards, anything more and you rub your calipers.

If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you. | Refer a Friend - AussieBroadband $50 Credit

Just FYI, offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. Offset basically tells you where the mount face is in comparison to the centre of the wheel. There is no relation whatsoever to how much brake caliper clearance it has! That's basically dependent on the design of the wheel.

offset will affect brake clearance... eg i test fitted ET42 on my wheel for a celica fit vs ET35 (what I bought) and the ET42 didn't fit -
but yes, it is also dependent on the wheel design. but you will find that ET35 will in general fit a golf cos you have to look at the outer side as well not fitting in the guards
