Borbet a 16's 7.5j

I know this topic has been covered a lot of times (I've been searching for hours) but I haven't managed to really find any definitive answers.

I'm looking at buying some borbet as for my mk3 cupra 16s and 7.5j all round. The problem is the offset, all of which are 20.

I know the standard is 37 I believe?

And using various calculators this comes out to be an extra 3.6cm outward from the original wheels. Just want to know if these will actually fit without arch work?

And if any spacers will be required etc.

Thanks

How are the 7.5s on the front? I'm lowering mine on coilovers tomorrow as well you see... Worried about rubbing and they must definitely stick out quite a bit?

Also considering borbet bs.. Et is 35 on the front and 30 on the rear so would fit better?

Really can't decide between the a's and the bs's

What do you think?

Like i said 9j fit fine with 5mm spacers

Width is one thing, but offset is crucial.

This is my old cupra, 8s on the front ET32, 9s on the back ET27

Your rr?


And where the hell did you find borbets with that offset? All seem to be 15s and 20s

I got Borbet A's 7.5j et20 on the front with no issues with 195x45x16 tyres. Just depends on how low you wanna go. Too low and i'm sure you'll get it scrubbing. You'll need spigot rings as well to suit (64-57.1mm IIRC)
