I've seen stock Mk1 Rabbit wheels with offsets anywhere from +32 to +45. The 45's tuck a lot. The big difference is the 1mm larger center bore of the wheels- 57.1mm instead of Honda's 56.1mm. VW's are ball seat, hub-centric.

If you're putting VW wheels on a Honda, go for the lowest offset you can find. EG's tuck a lot with factory wheels- I'm considering buying 15x7" +15 wheels for this EG, so you can get an idea of how much leeway you have.

Anyway, that's pretty off topic now, but perhaps it will help someone later on.
