offsets for alloys...

[RichA3Turbo]

Someone please tell me if they bewlow is correct for offsets and PCD

A3/S3/Golf4/TT
17" ET32 PCD 5x100
18" ET35 PCD 5x100
19" ET35 PCD 5x100

A4/S4/A6/S6/RS6/Passat
17" ET32 PCD 5x112
18" ET35 PCD 5x112
19" ET35 PCD 5x112

Dude, IIRC PCD for A4/S4/A6/S6/RS6/Passat
is 5X112.

Cheers!

My S3 18" OEM RSTT's are ET33

The Replica's I believe are ET30.

With different offsets does that mean you can get a "spacer" effect for free as part of changing wheels?

surely the ofset has more to do with the width of the wheel rather than the diameter. although it is linked in a way as normally as the diameter increases the width increases but his is not always the case.

e.g. if you had a 17"x7.5" wheel with a 32 ofset, surely you would also want a 32 ofset if you had a 19"x7.5"?, as the width of the wheel hasnt changed.

yes. if it can do .

offset is the distace from the centre of the wheel to the hub face of the wheel.
