wheel size

[hogeyphenogey]

Anyone know what the wheel size/ offset is for an 03 GTI? I'd like to look around for a new set of rims for my car.

Thanks all!!!

depends what wheels u have, if u want to use your factory tires go outside and look what size they are the last number of the 3 is your wheel size like 195/40/17

OEM offset is 38mm, but as mentioned, that can vary with regards to what wheel type you go with.

OEM is 38? I thought it was 35mm. My offset is even more off that I thought, I am running 32mm. That's not bad, is it?

Sorry, I guess that was kind of general...Long Beaches, Monte's, and Avus are 38mm offset...I was just trying to think of what came on GTI's.

GTIs had the same wheels basically. I can't see VW producing different offsets for basically the same car. So probably all MKIV wheels are 38mm then. I am running TT wheels, thats why I am at 32mm

I haven't brought the car home yet- that's why I'm askin...

I'm shopping for stuff and I don't even own the car yet!

I know it's got the base, flat 5 star rims, and I'd like to go up to at least a 16" ( I think the stock ones might be 15")
