looking at buying a set of 13" wheels with a e38 offset.will they fit my mk4 6n? if they will what size tyres would give me the stretched look.they are 13"x5.5

You will need rather large spacers i tihink!! They are only 5.5j wide?? Thats far too skinny! I personaly think it'll look daft. Needs to be much wider.

so does that mean they wont fit without spacers? its the et38 im concerened about as to weather they will fit!the wheels are very rare and will look good.just need to know if they will fit with a 38 offset

chill out....you wont need 60mm spacers!!! Thats massive, and your wheel bearings wont last 5 miniutes. Having 60mm spacers will make the et +22, which is just stupid. I dont know what size you'll need but i am pretty sure you will need.

thought as they are only 5.5 wide,if i got 60mm spacers,would bring them out a extra 30mm each side.thought that was how it worked!?
ok so they will fit with the 38 offset i take it.just need to find out before i buy them to start with.
any ideas how much i could push them out or as they are only 5.5 wide,is it not possible.
just love the wheels and really want them but dont want to buy them and find out they dont fit or i cant push them out with spacers,help!!!!!

If they are 4x100, then they will 100% fit. The only problem is clearing the calipers. Now this can be done by test fitting, and if they dont clear the calipers, you can check by approximately how much and buy the appropriate spacers.

Whats the link to them spacers?? If it states 60mm spacers, then that will most likely be a pair, 60mm each side! Now that is a lot!

sorry dont know how to grt the link on here but i just put in HandR wheel spacers.they are 30mm each side.so the way i was thinking is if they are 5.5 wide with the 30mm spacers each side,would bring them out to the arches a little more than 6.5 would.
so at the end of the day,i just need to make sure they are 4x100 and they can be made to fit with spacers.
just didnt want to buy them,then find out i cant get them on

lost out on the bidding in the end went to Â£160 and they ended up going for Â£167.did need cleaning up and tyres and i would have needed spacers as well.when i weighed it up,couldnt go any higher really.someone out there has a real nice set of rare vw alloys lucky git.im sure they will be looking good on the dub scene this summer!!!!
