Depends on the width too, et20 should be ok, gti wheels are et42 iirc

I thought the standard wheels were ET45, I typed this code C8X into a decoder and it came up with "alloy wheels 6J x 15 BBS multi-piece, offset 45"

I have et20 8j on the back, they poke out about an inch past the edge of the car and scrub like hell! I had to raise the car 30mm when i put them on.

If you get 7j et20 they'll still poke out half an inch
