offset size on gti

[golf2nv]

Hey all I have found where im gonna get my bbs rims from in the usa but I need to know what offset I can run on my 07 gti. The bbs I am getting are 18`s if that makes any difference

you need to know the width to properly calculate the offset

Well it says on the tirerack website 225/40/18 the offset is 50mm and the bolt pattern is 5-112 im just wondering if that is right for the GTI

Yes that is correct. Click on the BBS application guide and scroll all the way down to VW. There's a whole list of BBS wheels VS car type

as per Tims comment, need the width before you can calculate anything with offset. they go hand in hand.
if 225/40 is the tyre size, so we could have a guess its either a 7.5 or 8" wheel coming from a shop such as tyre rack
you want 5x112 stud pattern, and atleast a 57.1 centre bore also.

OEM is 17 x 7.5 ET +51, PCD 5 x 112.
use this tool to determine changes in width and offset...
