I have seen a few aftermarket alloys that bring the width out nice on the vRS (an estate I saw but cant remember the member!)

 

I am looking for something new, and want them to stand a little further out than the standard alloys.....

 

 

so , any recommendations for the width and offset? (pics would be cool!)

7.5j et35 would be a good bet Dave. Quite a readily available size.

Chris has these on his octavia

The tt Ronals I have are 7.5j et32 and they sit really well too

Ive got some BBS RS Reps on mine, 8J fronts and 8.5J Rears. Not sure on the ET though.

 

Had to fit 7mm spaces on the front as well to clear the brakes... 

 

They stick out a fair bit and its only a matter of time until they meet a kerb or two, as it looks like the previous owner has done so already! 

 

 

 

Charlie... what are the specs on your pro race 2's?

7j something, I can't remember off hand I'll have a check for you

I believe it's et38

Here's a couple of pics

My Braids are 17 x 7 ET35 I think

If I remember correctly Newbie69 had put 7.5" width and ET35, his picture from another thread:
