Offset for 17x7.5 wheels??? HELP

Post by joshpolo »

Im just about to order some old style RS4 wheels but im unsure of what bolt pattern I should be going for either 5x100 OR 5x112?
Also it says the offset is 35mm - 45mm, what is the correct offset for 9n's?

You want 5x100 ET35, should be fine. The more you go toward 45 the further into the arch the wheels will sit and then you'll be buying spacers to make them fill out the arches properly.

Mine are ET 33 or 35 I think with a 10mm spacer on as well, which then makes them ET 25, so they sit out further.

Hope this makes sense!
