Highest offset we can have with a 9" wheel?

[2009CandyWhiteGTI]

Im just curious on the highest offset we can have with a 9" wheel before we hit the strut/shock? Thank you

And the highest for a 9.5 and 10?

on 9.5 et45 it ran pretty close and under slight camber i would hit the cover for the fuel tank lines....i think that's what it covers.

thats a REALLY small diameter... if you had a rabbit maybe... but the bead wont clear the calipers... sorry man

Makes sense.
What about a 9? Would 9 et 42 clear? or et39

I am currently running an 18x9et44 with 3.8* of camber with no clearance issues. I also have run an 18x10et45, but was limited to no more than 2* of camber due to clearance to the shock.

On the rear of my car, i ran a 18x9 et52 and it cleared, the front, however, would not. it was close though, maybe a 5mm spacer...or et47

My VS-XX are 17x9.5 in the rear, et 41. My car is a rabbit, but I bought them from ducky and he had a GTI.

i remember tdipower had his equips, 18x9.5 et 53, and he said they wouldnt clear anything.

Arent alphards like 9.5 et44 or something like that?

Alright sweet I can get away with a 9 in the front et in the low 40's

19x10 ET40 seems to be 100% fine.

That's what Oscar runs on his.

18x9 ET38 seems to be 100% fine for the Fronts. That's what residentevol runs, and he's bagged too, no problems even after he airs out and everything.

18x10 ET38 also seems to be fine in the rear. Also what residentevol runs :thumbsup:

Hmm, I don't think we've ever successfully thrown a 9.5 on a GTI before. How much fender work are you planning on doing?

I would imagine something like a 18x9.5 ET40 could work but like I said, I cannot say for sure.
