What is the best offset / width combo to get with a 6R?
I have 17" 7.5j et35's and they come too flush with the arch...i want something that goes in slightly
its a shame all companys sell them at et53 7.5j as they are a rubbish fitment!
I have many many pics which iwill upload later
if i cant do this then i may have to go 16's or 18's?

Stretch tyres, camber and slam!!!
Like you say most off the shelf wheels and OEM VW for that matter are ET 51 /52 if i remember correctly?
If you are unable to source a a lower offset wheel.....could just get the ET 52 (approx) and put 10mm spacers on bringing it down to 42 (ish) ?
