bought these recently off fleabay, had them cleaned & powder coated, et is 45 so is it a 10mm spacer?
they come with original plastic caps that now have vw badges, ...BUT with this offset I still seem to be struggling to clear hubs on wheels to make caps fit

the centres have been machine out ready

any ideas please?

A 10 mm would give you an ET of 35, 15mm would be better or 20mm if you want to fill your arches (ET25).

ta, just found this
If you put a wheel on the same hub with a bigger offset, the wheel will sit further inside the wheel arch

So for example... your new rims have an ET of 45...so you will have to fit spacers of 10mm to bring it down to 35 which is within the 39 to 30 range
