It will fit, but it will be SUNK in.

What's the offset on MM EVO 5's, the diff. between 48 offset and 36 offset is 12 mm which is about .5 inches, would it really be that big of a diff.? Will 36 offset fit?

My MMEV5's are +40.

I have them coupled with 15mm spacers in the rear and 5mm in front.

No, I'm not into the staggered look. But as we all know when dealing w/ the A32 & A33, different size spacers need to be added in order to have a flush/even looking wheel/tire set-up.

I think it would look hot if it stuck out a bit more. Any other benefit besides look?

Better handling, slightly.

Wheelbase increase by a very small margin.

I noticed quite a difference in the overall balance. Before installing them I had quite a bit of snap-oversteer even with my LTBII, but afterward I didn't have any.

Newbie Question: If a wheel has an offset of 40 and you adda 15mm wheel spacer is the offset then that of a 25offset?
