    Bbs rs

    Just wondering if anyone on here has RS's on a mk4 gti? Really like the look of of the RS's, I want to get some And put some biggers lips on and possibly get them chromed. Can possibly get some 17's for a good price. Just thinking 17's on a mk4. Too small? sizes are 17x8 and 17x9 and offset +35 will they fit?

    Plain and fair they are hot lookin wheels.


    Wanna achieve something like this, Would these be 17's? or bigger.

    Steve

    17" RS's look dope on a mk4. But you have to have the stance to pull it off though

    If you get widths/pffsets correct, why would you need spacers??

    Do it properly and it will be dope as!

    Try vortex/wheel whores. Will be plenty of information there.

    Use a wheel offset calculator ( 1010 tyres) and a ruler and measure what your final ET's will be etc compared to where your wheel sits now.

    +20 will be pretty wide in the mk4 stock guards +30 would be a safer option. I have some 17inch BBS rs that are 5x100 redrill and they fit up nice on a standard mk4 with room for some deeper lips if poke it the stance your after. Drop me a PM for me info on them or getting yours redrilled.

    +20 on the 9s will poke, need stretch and very tight suspension to pull it off though. and cant leave the car raised on RS as it looks gay

    yeah its true. I have got lowered springs but still not that low. Planning on coilovers to drop it on its guts. But might happen after i get rs's? so i might have to only drive the 3 minutes to work and back while im riding high hahah.

    Quick thread hijack - am I likely to find a set of 18" RS that are 5x100? Or am I more likely to find 17"s like that? I too am thinking about RS for my Mk4 gti...
