Will they fit on my Golf, im absolutely useless with all that offset stuff for wheels.

golf is 5x100, and most aftermarket alloys for the mkiv are ET35 - 38

according to some guy in the ad...
"Offset for Celica T23 99> 5x100 35 to 42 "

which means that they will fit, as long as you can confirm the above.

pretty scruffy alloys though, used or new rs4 replica alloys would be nicer imo

They're cheap, just to have something while im saving for the wheels i want

ramanujan

fair enough, so just confirm that they are 5x100 and then you'll be grand

offset is easy to understand, basically the lower the number, the more the wheels will 'stick out'. The higher the number, the more the wheels will go into the wheelarch.

With a low offset you have to worry about the wheel rubbing the wheelarch. With a high offset you have to worry about the wheel rubbing the shock, spring or wheel well (especially on the front) and generally looking crap.

Standard Golf wheel or alloy is 4 nuts, these are 5.

Good luck getting a 4 nut wheel on to a MK4 golf! read the thread title.MK4 golf is 5x100
