right then guys, wonder if anyone on here can help me.

Im currently trying to find some adaptors for my arosa so i can fit my audi rims.

only thing is adaptors are 150 per axle unless you buy the higher spaced ones! which are 100 quid per axle.

so im just wondering how offsets work tbh.

i think my audi wheels are ET38

and the cheapest less spaced adapters are 35mm

so what would my offset be then?

am i right in saying that it would be a 3mm offset? (38-35 = 3mm?) so they would stick out way to much?

the correct offset on my arosa is ET35 I think.

Offset is a measurement from the centre line of the rim, and as you say a 35mm thick spacer on a ET38 would then be a ofset of 3mm. Have you actually tried the wheels on yet as differance of ET38 to ET 35 isnt a lot, may be able to then measure thickness of spacer required to give clearance to shocks/arches etc.

im guessing the difference is PCD (stud pattern) hence why you need adapters...whats the difference? 4-5 stud?
