1st I searched, I didnt find anything...


I'm going order 166 tomorrow OEM, what should I keep in mind?
I've been reading about M6 offset, Im new to this offset thing, can anyone explain what's M6 offset really for?
and how much it will effect my car

Thanks

I'd suggest you do a little more research before making such a huge purchase. It will make the whole process easier for you that way. Garri will always be there...
