VWVortex should list OEM size and offset for your current wheels. Compare to the wheels you'd like to get and see how close you can match them. Bam, you win.

From what ive seen, OEM wheels range in offset from +42 to +38. usually the stock 17in and 18in oem wheels run a +38 offset. Now when i installed my coilovers, I ran into my wheel rubbing my coil on a 17x7.5 +38 offest. Now i dont know what suspension you are running. I know your looking at an after market wheel so it all depends on how wide they are as well as offset. Im thinking you will need to run some kind of spacers.

Are you lowered? My 337's BBS RC's are 18x7.5 Et.38 and are fine on the sport suspension. I have a bit of room from coils to rubber.

for now i am running on stock suspension, but almost to a promotion at work so hopefully the car budget will grow a little. Plan to just run ultimos for a while and eventually invest in fk's. I went with 25mm spacers for now but i may have to decrease that when i go low.
