Offset?

[BaggedGLI]

Just wondering if an offset of 14 on 15x8 tires would be fine in the front on an mk2 jetta? and if 15x8.5 et 8 would work in the back?

What kind of poke would I be looking at?

That's an offset of 15 all around, to give you an idea.

Hmmmm looks like potential crazy rub in the rear

I have 15x8 et0 on my rears after spacing. That's about 102mm from hub face to outer lip edge of wheel. This brings my outer wheel edge pretty much flush with a G60 flare.
For 15x8.5 with et8, you're looking at about 100mm from hub face to outer wheel edge. So pretty much the same as what I'm running.
However, my rear fenders are cut and rolled under the flare to avoid rubbing. And my rubber is stretched.

Depending on the height yea, my fenders are rolled and I have zero rubbing.
