Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
PCD is 5x100mm
(pitch circle diameter) stud pattern basically
off set needs to clear the caliper, so prob the smaller the better?

i'd also be interested in knowin whether et35 are cupra caliper friendly as im eyeing up some wheels with that offset. can anyone shed some light on the matter?
I think you have to go for a higher offset, the higher the offset ther further away the spokes are from the hub mounting face. So a lower offset will bring the caliper closer to the wheel and with the Cupra that is a no no!

The wheels i have for sale/exchange are et35 and are cupra caliper friendly. Took me ages to find some that would fit. So hard due to the size of the brakes. If your interested in them let me know.
The offset is related to the position of the mounting face compared to the centre of the wheel rim not the spokes, with the large callipers having the correct offset will not guarantee calliper clearance on the wheels.
Have a look at the Compomotive technical guide:

Its the other way round, the higher the number, the further in the arch they are.
If you look on edition38.com, all show cars on there run ETs in the 0-30 mark.
Also, the offset means nothing as to whether they'll fit over the brakes, the spoke thickness plays a major part too. There really is a limited number of wheels available for the Cupra

I was always confused about offsets, as you can tell!!!
I've been looking at wheels for my own Cupra for a while. Tried loads but either the wheels fowl the caliper or when given the essential offset to clear the caliper the tyres fowl the arch.
As and when you find any that are Cupra caliper friendly, can you PM me with the name or pics.
I was in Holland for a quick trip late last year and while I was there I saw a MK4 with Split BBS RS001's but he had been forced to put smaller Polo calipers on the car. I like that 'I've hit a brick wall' feeling when I need it so brake downgrade is out. Especially with the power I'm running too. The RS's did look the absolute muts nuts.

Allegedly, Rota Force 8x17s fit but I don't like them.
I want some temporary wheels so I can get mine refurbed, anyone know of any cheap TT Comps?

I've been having the same problem. I thought baout getting them done individually, just rotating the spare. I have also been considering doint it myself.
as mentioned rota force time attack wheels will fit. These were developed for evos and the like for the clearance of the brembos!
I have the only set in the country in 5x100 et 35 and these fit the cupra perfectly with miles of caliper clearance.
Off set is the amount in millimetses that the hub mounting face is 'off set' from the centre line of the wheel itself. A larger number doesn't necessarily mean larger caliper clearance.. The position and shape me the spokes has a massive effect too
