Help with wheel spacers

I'm looking at some of these for my mk4.

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/11396.html



but they are only made for BMW's

am i right in thinking the most common bmw wheel specs are;

pcd: 5x120

et: 15 to 25

centre bore: 72.6

and mk4s are 5x100, et: 30 to 45 and a centre bore 57.1?


ive had a look but i cant really find any specific ones. if i get 25mm hub centrics does that make the offset higher or lower. e.g. if the wheel has an et of 25 and i put a 25mm spacer on it does it go down to 0 or up to 50?

any help would be appreciated lads

edit, most common bmw size id what you've got there max or 4x100?
adapters are on edition and the bay but vw to bmw's are normally £200+

also if you have 25mm hubcentric spacers it will make the offset lower so it sticks out the arch more, e.g. original offset = 40mm - 25mm spacers/adapters new offset = 15mm so it will stick out the arch a further 25mm as to with no spacers/adapters

sorry for the sh!te explaination.

thats what i thought. bollocks! that means im going to have an et of about 5. no 9.5's for me :(

i meant the early bmws had a pcd of 4x100 sorry to confuse.

lol sorry mate, seems that was lost in communication. i fully plan too i just cant find any spacers :/

So you looking for hubcentric pcd adaptors not spacers, yes? to fit bmw wheels to your golf?

Whats the offset and width of the wheels?

m3 CSLs?

http://www.beyernwheels.com/BMW_wheels_beyern_typemesh.php theres the info on them

im thinking staggering 8.5s on the front and 9.5 back. but if thats hassel il just stick 8.5's on all axels.

dude they would look awesome, hope NY is all good!

i take it your thinking 18s?

If so, its do-able with the higher offset option they do. the et45 on the 9.5j and 15mm adaptor gives you et30. Then the 8.5 with et40. gonna need decent amount of stretch and arch work but its defo do-able

Get ya tape measure out and have a measure up to visualise how things with sit outside, and inside the arch.

thinking about it il go for the 8.5's all round, et 40. 15mm adapters up front and 20's on the back. time to start saving
