I need to know the thickness of adapter to make my wheels flush with the fenders. Wheel size is, 225 40 R18, for 2005 Golf 4dr.
Searched but couldn't find, my guess is 20mm.

Re: Wheel adapter question.
Wheel offset and width will probably help with the choice

Re: Wheel adapter question.
Huff offsets are et51 I believe so a 20mm offset would give you a final offset of et31, which I think is fine for a MK4 but I cannot remember much anymore about them.Blair

Re: Wheel adapter question.
need more then a 20mm, a miro 18x8.5 et35 sits flush, so a 18x7 huff with et31 will still sit in a bit. 25mm minDon't Panic, I'm HispanicComment

Re: Wheel adapter question.
Yes, and its et51(good memory Blair) 18x7.5...so with my math, 20mm should work. If I'm wrong please let me know...want to order adaptors today!Hers 2009 Audi A4 6sp manual

Re: Wheel adapter question.
20mm adapters will work however they will not sit flush as you asked for. You would need a minimum of 25mm adapters I would think to sit close to flush. maybe even bigger!Derek

Re: Wheel adapter question.
As an example......RC's are 18x7.5
Pics with specs: 18x7.5 -> final et's = 28 up front, 18 in rear.
Good picture of the way it sits:
I would do 25's up front (maybe 20's if you are worried about rubbing but not sure how low you are)
Do 30's for the rear brah. Hell even with a 30mm in the back your wheels would sit 3mm inwards compared to the car above.Last edited by nismodrifter; 06-30-2011, 01:59 PM.Comment

Re: Wheel adapter question.
Ok, I'm doing the wheels first, suspension after(I know its gonna look bad for a bit) so stock height right now. So I'm thinking 25mm ft...30-35 rear.
