Take the offset of your stock wheel (et35, et38, etc) then subtract the amount of the spacer normally used to get your desired look. For instance if your stock et is 35 and you would need to add 8mm spacers in the front to get flush you would be looking for a wheel with a 27mm offset. The rear is the same formula; et35 minus the 15mm spacer gets you a 20mm offset. I think that's the info you're looking for. Took about 2mins on google to figure it out.

with a 7.5" wide wheel you can run a 15-20mm et. BUT you likely wont find any wheels with this ET unless they are custom made. Most wheels will be a 35et and you can run 15 or 20mm spacers for that flush look. it just so happens we have some on special right now! UroTuning.com - Parts for VW Audi Porsche BMW - This is the REAR btw, the fronts would need a 10mm or 12mm to get flush with a 35et
