Questions about picking the wheels

I was told that our MKV is using 5x112mm bolt pattern wheels, I thought all wheel says 5x112 will fit MKV. Actually, the Tirerack personel told me that was not the case. Some 5x112 may not fit because of the calipers' locations, so we can't just pick 5x112 aftermarket wheels, whatelse we have to think of???

what they are referring to is the offset. It's what controls how far a wheel sticks out. the stock wheels on our cars have a high offset, which means even though a wheel will bolt up, it might stick out too far or sit in too far and rub on the strut.

You also have hubbore to deal with. I believe someone said it's 57.1. Bigger bores are ok as long as they come with hubcentric rings. What's the ET range? I assume that means the same as offset.
