autoX wheels and tires what kind of offset ?

[Drew84]

Ok I have 90 tsi awd I want to go autocrossing with it so I need some need wheels. The stock ones have had it. They're very weak. I've decided on Rota Subzeros because they are a great compromise wheel between price and light weight. For $100 less than Supperleggars they weigh 16 pounds and for almost $200 come in as many colors as TE37s. These are the 17, 7.5 wheels. My guestion is I know the right bolt pattern but what is the correct offset? Is it 45mm or 48mm? According to MachV, who dosen't give you the offset of the wheels, you need a 3mm spacer on the front so that the CV axel nut clears the center cap if you want it on the wheel. If I went with a 48mm would I avoid this problem?

no you wouldnt want to go higher if you are going to be using a spacer...
If you are going to use a 3mm spacer maybe you should think about 38-40mm offset, you could get a nice lip on the wheel to =)
