Factory BBS GTI 15 x 6.5" wheels have a 33mm offset...

My MSW TYP 1905H wheels, w/195 50 15" RE 71's, have the same 33mm offset,
and it only rubs when it slams down hard, 
for ex. at the the railroad crossing down the street @ 50 MPH. Under
normal conditions, 195 50 15 tires. on  15 x 6.5" wheels 
with a 33mm offset is a good setup for a Scirocco.
