Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

great price mate, told yah they were for business!! lucky that you will have it so soon also! with the wheels, i think stock offset on the 18" detroits is +51. im looking to go to a 18x8.5 wheel when i get the car and my research has gotten me to believe that you shouldnt go any lower than +45 on a 8.5" wide wheel. ill most probably be putting the 225 tyres from the detroits on to the new wheels and selling the factory wheels themselves.

The detroit rims r only 18x8 tho I thought. I will def go 8.5, but not sure if 19 is too big.
I want something nice with dish, the lm is a nice wheel, and I can't justify hre, dpe and iforge prices tho. Might look at oz racing, the super leggaro 3 is a nice rim also

If you dont lower you wont rub at all but if you do plan to then you'll need to run 225/35/19 tyres or 215/35/19 if you plan to go stupidly low.

On my car 235/35/19 et40 8.5" stock height = no rub

Peedman, any pics?
What rims r u running?
I'm not lowering at this stage as I have a ****ty driveway. If there r cheap coilovers fs at a later stage I might be tempted, but I assumed those would be the tyre sizings

Actually, they're 18x7.5"
The only 8" wide "stock" wheels are the 19x8" Talladegas on the R's.

In any case, this is not the place to be discussing aftermarket wheels. There is an entire subform dedicated to wheels and suspension...
... one where this topic has been discussed many times already...

ok, placed a deposit with barloworld in glen waverley, thanks to nick andonopoulos and milosh for the headsup.
the car is a white 3dr manual, mdi and cable, bluetooth, slimline weathershields, tinting and rubber cargo mat. $40660 delivered to barloworld in five dock in sydney.
delivery is in 6 weeks. im pretty happy with that considering that jokers want low $40s for USED gtis with 10k+km on them. why wouldnt i buy a new car for less money

Only one crappy iphone pic at this stage. Was planning to lower the car this week until a truck decided to reverse into it

PS: I know what your talking about walbjj, there are some on carsales asking ridiculous money!!

It's hard to tell. Assuming dealer deliver is $2995, then the car plus dealer delivery and including GST and LCT is $63,886.70. Thus $58,000 is a saving of $5886.70 which means a discount of 9.21%

This is a nice discount! You then need to factor in the interstate delivery or a flight and petrol/time/km etc - which will bring the saving and discount % down.
