i got a set of enkei wheels , theyre 16x8 the tires are 205 50 r15, i think the et is 19 but cant be positive its just what i was told and im not sure how to tell what the et is on my own. will these wheels possibly fit on my ek hatch? its slammed right now but i would roll the fenders if needed.. thanks in advance

 

Whats the offset? They're probubly going to stick out of the wheel wells. Et 19? Whats that?

 

i never heard of et either but i have alot of freinds into vws and they always use the term et, it has to do with the offset im assuming, how can i determine the offset of the wheel?

 

i just did some research on the wheels there actually 16x7 and the offset of the wheel only comes in 35 mm or 20 mm , anyone know if this is possible?

It should work if its 16x7 with +35 mm offset. Roll the fenders if you wanna slam it.

 

woops forget to add... r15 tires? doesn't that mean the tires are for 15 inch wheels, so maybe its 15x7?

 

You could try measuring it. Put a straight edge across the back of the wheel then use a metric ruler to measure distance from edge to hub mounting surface. Thats you backspacing. I forgot the rest look on Tire Rack.com they tell you hwo to figure it out.

 

yahh i put em on my car today they fit i just had to roll my fenders alot haha, and i cant take straight 90 degree turns without rubbing haha. ill post pics soon
