custom wheel offset question



15x7 on a stock suspension run if loaded with 2 people. on 205/50/15. I have
ATS Cups 15x7, and I am going to have to fold my fender before I drop it, or
draw back to 195/50/15 as I hear those don't rub.

=>I am almost ready to order my new wheels and tires, I'm looking
=>at borbet type
=>T's with Kuhmo ecsta 712 in 205-50-15.  I really like the look on this car
=>http://www.roccofreak.de/scgaeste/mi4.jpg and thought I would get
=>a smaller
=>than stock offset to get a wider wheel lip.
=>
=>The wheel calculator on scirocco.org says the A1 can handle 4.5in of
=>backspacing, which equals about a 26mm (ET) offset.  Is anyone running a
=>similiar setup to this with 15x7 wheels and 205-50 tires on a
=>16v?  I would
=>love to have this setup but I don't want any rubbing...  also,
=>I'm planning on
=>H&R sport springs from potterman in the future.
=>
=>Thoughts? am I asking for trouble?
=>
=>TIA!
=>Matt
