[Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
Really want to find out what offset I'm gonna need to have 8j rims front and rear on with 214/40/17r front tyres and 235/40/17r rear.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
ET35 maybe ET30 on the rear

great on appearance.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
Sorry the
+38-42 recommendation on rear is for a 9.5" rim, speed read that one!




Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
I have 7j front and 8j rear ET35 all round, same tyres sizes as the OP.
Fronts sit perfectly in the arch, rear could do with coming out a few mm so with 8j all round you'be be better off with an offset of ET32 or ET30.



Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
im running the exact sizes as the op, and my wheels are all 40 offset, with a 5mm spacer to bring them all to 35 offset, i think they sit just right.







Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
if i was to go 8J all round.
.
i'd get et38 to 40 fronts and et30 rears





Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Whose got 8j rims?
et30 rear FTW
