VWW Official MKIV Wheel Q&A

**dylan8** · 25-06-2013, 10:44 PM

List got so big I had to make it in to two posts! woooo keep them coming guys!

Iv noticed the "what wheels for my mkiv" threads have near stopped, so must be working.

Does any one have the wheel and tyre size for the 14" and space saver? off the placard would be ideal so no mistakes

Car: VW Golf 2lt FWD

Wheels: 3-piece Sforzo Mesh (Riverside stamped on the back side of the wheel centre, manufactured 1996 and first used 2010).
Front: 17x8 et32 with Falken 215/45/17
Rear: 17x8 et32 with Falken 215/45/17

What's in the box? by Matthew Dart, on Flickr

Fenders Rolled: No - not needed with this setup at this height

Fenders Pulled: No - not needed with this setup at this height

Camber: No additional camber

Suspension: FK Sport Plus Coilovers with helpers in place, Replaced factory strut tops in the front at time of install. Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar set on medium. Lowered moderately. Stu and Mitch keep telling me to 'Lower it'

.

Notes: This setup isn't too extreme in terms of width, diameter and offset. The combination of the coils, rear swaybar and only very slight stretch on the tyres made the car a reliable, well-handling and comfy daily driver - covering around 600km weekly when I lived in QLD.

Hi,

Hope I'm posting in the right spot.

Got a 2002 Bora V6 4Motion and want to put some new shoes on it.

I'm thinking of a set of BBS CK in 18x8 with an ET of 35. Just want to confirm that they'll fit without problems.

With the right tyres rolling circumference change will be negligible, which I think should leave my lowering options open.

Am I on the right track?

Thanks
Craig

Yep, exactly what I started thread for.
Sounds pretty good Craig.

If I recall from your first post you were looking at doing lowering springs?
18x8et35 will work fine at stock height and a bit of a drop.
225/40 is your best bet for tyres.
can also look at 235/40s. these are a bit bigger then OEM rolling diameter, but can be had a bit cheaper some times due to being common on falcons and commodores.

I'm sure there should be some 8et35 wheels listed in the opening page if you want to have some idea oh how they will sit.

Thanks Dylan,

Yep, looking at some springs from an S3, which I'm told should do the job. Not sure how much lower it'll drop it, but I can always swap it back.

I liked it! This thread is all about what does and doesn't work on a mkiv, doesn't have to be 'fitted' or 'slammed'. The more combinations and variations we can save the better.
