looking for someone with low offset 5x100 wheels so i could test fit them to see how low of an offset i can go without hitting my struts… would love to run a 10mm offset but not sure if i can so if anyone could lend me a wheel for a couple minutes it would be awesome! just let me know ---

lower offsets bring the wheels farther away from your struts, and you might want to also say what width you want to run, or just go outside with a tape measure and figure it out. ---

yeah the 10" 35mm was tested… could work but he isnt low enough and the tire was way too meaty… the car has 8" with 27mm offset now and sits fine… the rears would need to be pulled more but with having the already wide toyota front fenders theres definitely room under there… and mk4 if you wouldnt mind id be interested in test fitting them at somepoint!
