matth76 1 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 HiI'm looking to upgrade my standard 15" bbs alloys on my golf vr6 with bigger 16 or 17" alloys. I still want to keep the multispoke style that the bbs has as I think it really suits the golf vr. Does anyone know of a good and ideally very cheap but reputable source for new or second hand bbs style alloy and tyre deals? And what size offset (ET) do I need to look out for as I'm not sure what the offset actually means... for example if it is ET25 would this mean it is closer to the brake disk or closer to the inside of the wheel arch compared to ET35? I assume 7.5" is the 'width' alloy size to go for too?I will be fitting either 30mm lowering springs shocks or coilovers in the near future before I fit any alloys. Will this affect my choice of alloy..in any way?Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 keep your eyes open on ebay for bargain sets of wheels. you need an offset around 35-38 and a pcd of 5x100 to fit on your vr. the et, or offset, is the measurement taken from the mounting face of the wheel(where it bolts to the hub) to the rear lip of the rim. the lower the et the further out the wheel will sit when fitted to the car!
