Wheels offset question

[elegance1.8T]

Have just won some Audi TT alloys off ebay and after bidding noticed that the offset is ET32 whereas on my car i'm sure it's ET35.

Does this make a big difference and more importantly will they fit, without spacers, and are spacers safe?

Why don't the VW/Audi group all have the same fittings surely it'd be cheaper for them!!

Yeah, they should fit without spacers - the offset's only 3mm, shouldn't make much difference at all.

Mr ffelan used Audi TT rims as track tyres, IIRC.

std rims are et 38

i thought the tt ones were et 30 tbh... but dont worry they fit fine... 225-45-17 is a must as they are 8" wide if they are the same as mine.

the increased track improves stability at the expence of a little extra aero drag...

I thought the TT rims are 7.5" wide.

As ive got them with 205/40's on

Just checked and mine are 7.5" wide with 225/45's on but need new tyres, don't need 4o profile as i have a proper sized car. lmao!

Rob, have moved again now and am working in Stratford-Upon-Avon, damn that Shakespere bloke if it weren't for him this place would be like a ghost town!!

Take care
