i am about to buy some alloys for my mk4, they are et 35, so should fit sweet! but what i want, is for the back two wheels to sit a bit wider than they will if i fit them straight on. so should i put spacers on the back two wheels? and if so, what sort of size? 4-5mm?6,8? not even sure how offsets work!the higher et the wider? or the lower the wider? :?:
hope someone can help, i'm not that good with car stuff n i just bought my polo, so hopefully it is on it's way to looking sweet.

a lower offset will stick out more e.g ET25 will stick out more than ET35 (the same wheel size in both cases) as for the spacers you'll probably get more feedback if you post in the mk4 section. :)

p.s why are you mexican and in oxfordshire, surrey and nottingham? :?
