    Any Passat owners in ACT that can help?

    Chasing a spare set of 18s to put on my R36 for a few days until my new set of wheels arrive. Can any ACT member help with a wheel or two (just so I don't leave the car n jack stands)

    Why do they have to be 18s? 17s & (possibly even 16s if they are 312mm rotors) should fit. Are the rotors 312mm or 34Xmm?

    Golf/Jetta/ octavia/ Superb rims should fit as well

    Cvwc advised that only 18s will clear brakes and rotors, but if anyone has tried an R36 with 16 or 17inch wheels then I'd be happy to use them. Car will not leave my garage.

    Must be 345mm then. Makes me wonder what size the spare is as that would clear.

    Just put it on stands if it's going nowhere. Buy some at SCA or Repco, put some padding on them so they don't get scratched, take them back when your finished for a refund because they are rubbish

    edit: 17s may fit - would depend on the profile of the rim

    Sorted in the end. I've purchase some OEM wheels which will be hopefully delivered on Thursday.
