Wanting new 18 wheels but lost in the world of wheel mumbo jumbo

[Apps81]

Hi folks I'm wanting some after market wheels but if just found out it's not as easy as choosing a size .. i have octavia vrs mk2 pfl

 

Can anyone help me out as not sure what the hell it all means and don't want to buy some that rub  

 

Regards

Hi. You can't go to far wrong sticking to 7.5" wide with an offset between 45 and 50et. A lower offset figure would mean the wheel may stick out too far.

Hi 

 

Thanks dude .. what about spacers 

 

Wouldn't mind it lowered eventually on coilovers..

Would you still say the same as above

Yes - spacers are fine.

 

My set-up is 18 x 7 1/2 et 51 with 225/40/18 tyres. 15mm spacers up front and 20mm spacers at the back.

What is the stud & pdc for the mk2?

 

I have a set of Gemini's for the mk3 vRS fully refurbed in shinny black that I may not use on my new car
