        Are you sure that's not just iX weaves? Euro weaves have a different offset?

          Sorry,

          I should have been more specific.

          Euro = 15x7
          US = 14x6.5

          And Chris is right, the offsets are a little different as well.

              yes

              euro = et24
              us = et30
              ix = et41

                Does that mean a lot of VW wheels would bolt right up to an ix without spacers?

                  Pretty much, but they look ugly. iX hubs are only around 6-7mm outboard, running RWD E30 wheels like nando does looks so much better.

                    yeah, they will fit but they won't be very agressive looking. to be fair though my rear fenders are uh, "massaged" a bit to make room for the euro weaves. :p
