VR6 17 inch wheel offset

Post by 555LUT GP »

Help please - Will a 7.5j front et30 , 8.5j rear et20 rim fit on the Jetta VR6?
They are advertised as being able to fit VR6's but a couple of sets later and i am still struggling to find a set to fit with no issues, either tire rub, catching on the calipers. Rolled fenders, fitted spacers, etc. and no luck. I've seen the offset for a 17 should be around et33-35, So before i buy this set can anyone assist?

I have a set of Audi 8L S3 wheels on the VR and they are ET32. Fit perfectly and no rubbing on calipers or anywhere else. Suspension is lowered using H&R springs as well.
