Rejean: I don't know the offset off the top of my head! If you're referring the OEM basket weave BBS wheels, I can tell you that H&R makes spacers that will permit you to use them with your 11" Corrado brakes. I use the OEM BBSs as my winter wheels in conjunction with the H&R 10mm "Track Widening Kit" (2 x 5mm spacers). With new pads, the 5mm spacers gave me just a hair's space between the inner surface of the wheel and the caliper. You're right, Corrado wheels would be a better choice, but this was a relatively inexpensive solution.

What is the offset on the stock BBS wheels on our GTX? Is it different on the corrado? I have 11" brakes and can't fit the brake pads with my stock BBS's. I was thinking of putting spacers but if I can find a set of Corrado BBS that would be even better. Thanks --- Rejean Langis 91 Jetta GTX 16V 84 Lapin GTI [email protected] MailCity.
