Wheel Offset

[VDuB4LiFe]

Looking at getting some Keskin Kt1's. Wondering what you guys had to say about 16x9 all around or 16x7.5 front and 16x9 rear. I'm confused about the offset as well. Is it the higher the et the more the wheel will stick out or the opposite? Anyway, the guy I'm dealing with said et15 with 16x9 all around would fit. A fender pull I think would definately be in order.

Thanks

Re: Wheel Offset

Lower the ET the more poke you will have.

Re: Wheel Offset

The lower the et also means more lip, thats why I run negative offsets

Re: Wheel Offset

hmm seems lie everyone is getting kt1's thease days cant blame em since they are soo hot ....anyways dont go 16x9 and 16x7.5 on a mk3, you will regret it, trust me i was going trough the same when i was ordering my wheels and ended up ordering 16x9 all around and am deffinately not regretting it a bit

as for the offset, having same offset in the front and in the rear will not look so hot neither and in the end you will have to add spacers to make things fit as naturally the front wheels will poke out more. make sure there is about a 10mm difference between the front and rear offset






my kt1's are 16x9 all around with the offset for the rear at et15 and the front et25 with really stiff suspension and a minimal fender roll in the rear

Re: Wheel Offset

16x9 all around it is. What size tire would you recommend? Is there a better brand of tire to go with when stretching?

I had 215/40/16's on my 16x9 stahls and it provided a nice little stretch. I was running Falken 512's!

Re: Wheel Offset

So I need wheels with 5/100 bolt pattern. I like the look of the et15(rear) and et25(front). I can get 5/100 for the rear with et15 but for the front I can get et25 in either 4/100, 5/112 or 5/120. Wondering what my options are to get the offset i need?

Thanks
