Done a bit of searching on here with no definate answer

so first question is

18INCH 8.5J ET35 PCD 5X100

would that fit onto an octavia

is 8.5j 8.5" wide is that to wide

i wouldnt have though it wouldnt be to hard to knock up a definate list of what sizes fit and what offset is required for different rims

and just leave it as a sticky in here

Eg (and these figures are all made up)

Rim size.............Ideal offset......ideal tyre size...........Comments

17 x 7...............ET35...............205/50 - 225/45

17 x 7.5............ET35...............225/45

18 x 7...............ET35...............225/40

18 x 7.5.............ET38..............225/40

18 x 8...............ET38 ...............225/40...............no full lock

18 x 8.5............ET35 ...............225/35...............no full lock

19 x 8 ..............ET38...............235/30

19 x 8.5 ............ET40...............235/30...............no full lock

Im sure some of you clever people could fill this properly

rather than the rubbish ive got here

??x7 = ET38

??x7.5 = ET35

??x8 = ET32

I have 235x45x19s on my RS I don't have any issues with front wheels locking up. My only problem is having more than two people in the back which causes problems with bottoming out etc...
