Agressive wheel fitment

[Bflat]

Considered modifying wheels? If you can find a set of flat-backed wheels in the right offset like I did then you can make them work.
I'm re-building a set of 16x8's that were originally 5x114.3 but were flat-backed which allowed me to have them re-drilled to 5x100 without a hassle in the world, it's cheap too.

Although 50's offset is not massive, that's close to stock offset. I was looking for a low 30's offset or even 20's.

Sorry, still stuck in the old RWD mentality for assessing offset.
I thought by "big offset", you wanted a large offset value to minimise the change in scrub radius

Because 9N3 Polo drivers are the illest...

hmm, as far as aggressive goes on the 6r, im yet to see someone with 18x9 front and back with et 35 as i do.. sittin on h&r 35/55 spring..

What tyres are you running on those? Do you have problems clearing the guards during everyday driving.

I have stock gti rims on h&r 25/40 springs and thinking about getting 18x8 with 225/35R18 tyres all around.

At same time I don't want to be hitting the guards every minute on our cr#p roads.

Experiences from those with a similar setup?

If I had the option of choosing any rim in the right PCD I'd be getting TE37 time attacks in a 8.5 +28 front and 9.5 +25 rear

I am completely useless when it comes to offsets and what not, I've tried to learn and when i think i understand i realise i don't . Anyway you all seem a lot more switched on then me curious to if a 17x7.5 rim with a 45+ offset would have any difficulties running on a 6r?

Original GTI rims are 17x7 46p half an inch wont be an issue at all. I reckon 17x7.5 35p would be ideal (the way im looking to go soon)

Yeah i was looking for 17x7.5 35p but it has been increasingly difficult to find the wheels at a reasonable price in the style I'm after

What's wrong with your set of 18x8 +35 BLN355?
Are the getting too impratical?
