Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Also, 19" rims doesn't automatically mean you can fit in say, the Alcon or AP Racing bolt on replacements, particularly when the offset of the rims doesn't give enough space (depth wise) for the larger callipers.

You may end up having to swap out for a different rim design to get the brakes to fit.

That's certainly a possibility, as the wheels Volkswagen fit on modern Golfs tend to have relatively high (positive) offsets.

Spoke design effects brake fitment more so than offset and rim diameter.

Any more discussion of Range Rovers in this thread will result in infractions - we're all well and truly over it. Keep it polite and on-topic.

Btw i wonder if the new R would have the oil starvation issue as the mk6 gti tsi engine, when using race compound semi on sharp turn on a race track.

The car can be ordered from April 12 in NADCON, yep. Sales staff are getting the introductory training in the second week of April.

I've also heard that a couple of NSW dealerships may be getting one demo R each (from VWA's press fleet) in the next fortnight (I'm currently in Sydney and spoke to sales staff at one particular dealership about this recently).

That would be great news as I'm getting sick of waiting.

To see the car in person and how VW prices it.
