Offset help
Hi, wondering if any wheel gurus can help me decide if a set of wheels will fit my car.
The car is an 87 cabby GTi and the wheel specs are 15" X 8" 4x100 et10. Will these clear the brake calipers and fit under the arches ok? I do have rolled arches which are almost twice the size of the standard ones though!
Any help would be great

Is the car standard height or lowered (if lowered how much)
what tyres are you going to run, 185.55/ 195/50 205/45?

They'll fit, but will depend heavily on, your ride height, your tyre choice, your camber on the front, arch mods if you run low.

Thanks for the help guys!
Its good that the second website gives you an image of the difference between the different wheels- helps a lot
The golf is on adjustable coilovers and not running too low so I'm not worried with them. The arches have been rolled which will help with the extra clearance but I don't want to run with really stretched tyres so will probably go with the 195 tyres, by the looks of it they will fit quite well!
