    Anyone know the offset of the standard 16" Tig wheels?

    Hey Guys,
    Does anyone know what the offset of the standard 16" TSI Tig rims are?

    Cheers

    I'll have a guess, based upon the offsets of B5-B6 passats, MKV's and a host of other cars and say ET45

    We don't get the 16s in NZ but there's a set for sale on http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4226259 and they state that they're 16 x 6.5 x ET33

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Don't know if it helps but 17 x 7s are 48 offset evidently (according to another Vortex file).

    Hi, I would get 18x8 +35 to have a good fit, there is plenty of room in the guards. The VW 19" rims are 19x9 +33, but then they "suggest" you need the flares to make it legal.

    I am in Canberra also and am getting these 19s from the states sent over if you want to share postage costs

    They are an awesome gunmetal colour as opposed to the silver that places like tempetyres have and also +35 is a much better offset than the +45 rubbish you get at tempe
