    Question 15x7 ET 20 front & 15x7.5 ET 13 rear Mk1 ???

    So..
    Probably a bit of a noob question here but does anyone know whether a 15x7.5" wheel with ET 13 in the rear will sit flush to the guards similar to what 15x7" ET 20 would be on the front under a Mk1? Or any other size/ET that would sit flush with the edge of the guards for the rear?
    Simpler question might be what's the perfect size/offset for the rear of a Mk1 to compliment 15x7 ET 20 front?
    Purely because from the images of cars with 15x7" ET 20 on the rear they seem to tuck by a small amount & i'd really like them to sit flush.
    Sorry if this is a bit confusing.. Only just started reading up about offset's & how they work so i'm not sure if i'm explaining everything simply..
    Feel free to ask if it is a tad confusing though haha!

    Cheers if anyone has any knowledge.

    The 7.5 ET 13 will sit approx 13.5mm further out than the 7 ET20.

    Should be pretty flush, infact, that's pretty mad fitment. Hope you pick the right tyre size and slamm it. It'll could be awesome.

    Here is 15x7 et28 with a 10mm spacer (ie. et 1 before I lowered the car to the final height just so you can get an idea (no scrubbing at this height at all).

    Ah hell yes!
    Thank you very much ^_^
    I'd guessed it would sit fairly flush but it's great to have people who actually know/have experience confirm it too
    Cheers!

    If you go ET10 and want it close to the same as that you might need a 1 degree camber shim.

    Ohk cheers!
    All really depends on the offset's that the wheels come in as well mostly.
    But it'll be a few months before I can afford the wheels anyhow, so I've got plenty of time to suss how to get them to fit perfectly when I finally purchase them & go to mount them.
    Thank you though!
    Any extra info is good info!
