Within reason any wheel can be made to fit flush with spacers. You do need proper bolt pattern. 5/100

Thanks for the link, have you ever had issues or heard of anyone having issues when using spacers?

No, as long as you don't go crazy, you should be ok. Be aware that calculator is for Quattros, and FWD models have a 8mm wider rear track.

so I should subtract 8mm from what the calculator said i should get then? but the front is the same though right? if that is right then i should get a 22mm front and 20mm back, is that too drastic? Im not looking to cause more problems for myself in the future just to get my wheels to look wider is my point i guess.. thanks for the help.

what width and offset are you looking at for your future wheel?

Mine are 8in w/ a 35 offset. I am fwd and run 20mm in the front and 25 in the back and the wheels set great.
