    I have a couple dumb questions.

    First can I run a 14" wheel with a 33mm offset? I did some searching and I couldn't find anything. I want some winter wheels and I found some cheap. But I don't want to buy spacers. Second, what does fender rolling mean? Thanks

    yes, bottlecaps are ET35 so ET33 should be fine, assuming they aren't like 10" wide or something ;)

      So theoretically, if they aren't that wide, can I run a ET38 wheel? They would be off of a 95 GTI. Thanks for the reply.

        Here is an old thread with some tech articles on fender rolling



        It's pretty much extending the fender arch to fit wider wheels and/or tires.

          If they're 6" wide and you run 195's, likely.
