Mag Wheel Sizes/Offsets
I'm looking at some new mags for my T2.
Having a read through all the posts there seems to be a lot of confusion about what fits and what doesn't.
Any answers from this thread are going to go into the infobase.
For reference the standard T2 mags are 13x5 +?? (anyone knows the offset would be greatly appreciated).
My question is will 14x6 +40 mags fit on a T2?
Also what would be good is if people could post up what mags they are running on their cars both T1/T2 with with no rubbing.

not sure if you can put the handling down to wheel / tire choice
185 60s shouldnt have too much roll,
I have 13x5.5 + 38 offset with huge profile tires and it still handles pretty good with the KYB shocks
You can probably go down to +20-25 offset to fill out the guards without rubbing but good luck finding 4x100s with low offset.

Thanks for posting up your specs.
The roll is probably from either under inflated tyres or old suspension.
However wheels play a huge part in handling, maybe a better word to use would have been unpredictable for my car, and i believe thats only down to the mags, i've had stock rims with same tyres on and it felt a lot more predictable/planted.
I've seen posts (bigleboe/colza) mentioning that we could run 15inch mags on a T2,
15x6.5 195/50/15
but they didn't know the offset that would work.
Is anyone running 15's here?
Tyres are proving difficult to get for 13/14" these days.

This about 40mm gap between the shock and the tires. Unsure of the width of the rim since its not mine but looks to be 6inch.
And iv got some volk 15inch superfine rims ill be sticking on when I can afford some decent tires. 15X6.5 so may need to get some 9mm spacers.
Do you know what offset the rims are?
