hate to be a noob..... but here goes...

gc8 offset +53... how would a +55 fit.... would that stick out or in more? ....
plain english i'm tired and tech articles clear as mud right now...

thanks

"The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle."

thank u me.... does this mean the +55 on a gc8 would under guards more?

don't forget the offset changes with the width of the rim... standard STI 17" rims are 17x7.5 +55, and they fit just fine under a GC8

few ideas from different people please what colour rims would suit a siver car.
Black , Silver, Dark silver, Black with chrome lip, Gold..

Somthing about the sti gold sort of colour keeps bringing me back.

Dumb-ass question time - do the factory wheel nuts fit with aftermarket rims or do you need to buy those riced-up fluorescent nuts?

depends on the design of the rim

Fled, I think when I got my Volks it was recomended to go with aftermarket lug nuts to suit the seat taper as it is a slightly different angle to our std wheels.

Does this apply to all Volks? LE, CE, TE, etc?

Think so fred - but still. It's probably just a sales pitch so they can try and flogg off some $200 lug nuts.

I've got em - only cos they're bling bling
