VWW Official MKIV Wheel Q&A

[BOR444]

Hay Dylan8, what are the possibilities of running staggered fitment on the Bora, size would be.

front- 235 40 18 (et30)
rear- 265 35 18 (et35)

the rolling diameter are -0.4% difference so its next to nothing. concern is width of tires and offset.

fuzion ran a 235 and 265 combo back in the day on his FWD
trickysimon ran 235/40/18 on 8.5et35, and 265/35/18 on 9.5et40. were slicks from memory too so even wider then street tyres in those sizes
they are pretty agressive sized tyres though, any reason cant go smaller?

Can anyone tell me if a set of 17x7 et46 Denver rims off a Polo GTI will clear R32 front brakes fitted on a MkIV Golf GTI? If not, are there any recommendations for OEM Golf/Polo rims that will?
Cheers,
