    Hey guys,
    Just a quick question coz i've different answers off wheel shops. Whats the best offset for a MK3 Golf GTI (5 stud) with a drop of 60mm. I've been told et35 by one place and another place say they wont fit. Any suggestions.

    Cheers

    It's very dependant on the width of wheels you are running.

    I've got 16 x 7.5 alloys with 35 offset and 205/45/16 tyres on the rear and 195/45/16 on the front. it's as low as it will go on Supersport coilovers and I get no rubbage. The rear arches have been ground ever so slightly by the previous owner.
