    Offset question

    I'm looking at a set of winter wheels that are cheap. The wheels are 16's with a 50ET. Will this offset work on the GTI or will I need spacers in order for them to clear the calipers?

    Which antenna wire is the best to use with an aftermarket radio? Does it matter which one you use? Getting poor reception lately and have tried both of the antenna wires.

    Creaking from rear

    Got a creaking in the rear especially on an incline when getting in and out of the car sometimes. Running on stock shocks and Eibach springs. Kinda wonder if it's the bushings in the rear, maybe the sway bar, that needs to be replaced. Any thoughts? Is there anything to lube back there?
