Liking the OEM look. Wonder if they genuine or fakes ?

[Grayfox]

Ladies and Gents.. would a Golf R MK7 have the same wheel clearance as an Audi S3? Basically trying to assure myself that I can replicate this ( Audi S3 Lightweight Wheels - Koya SF02 - Rollingstock ) without major modifications to wheel wells etc. I did check the tyre size calculator and this set up has a very close overall diameter/width to the OEM setup. So thinking it would be ok? Thanks in advance.


edit: on the S3 they have 17x9 and 235/45/17

Hard to say on that pic; Audi did use that design in many sizes and models over the years but generally the space between each (twin) spoke was greater on the OEM wheel.

The fitment of the VW cap would indicate they may be OEM, however mobs like Hartmann do a version of this wheel that are designed to take the cap as well.

The tyre size is ok and yes the R/S3 are generally going to run pretty much similar deals, but a x 9 wheel will need some significant suspension work/camber to get it tucked in and not creating rub.

Can be done but will need the right people working on it to make it legal.
