O.Z Superturismo LM (will it fit without modifying the guards)?

**avdo_** · 02-08-2012, 02:10 PM

Hey guys,

I am currently looking at purchasing some wheels and I was just wondering if they would fit without modifying the front/rear guards?

My car is a 2011 GOLF R.

Wheels Specs:

Enkei RPF1

19x8 +35

Thanks in advance for all the help,

Avdo Hasanovic

P.S if this has been covered before, sorry but I couoldnt find any good info.

this is the most common question in the mk5+ world.
check out all the guys running the VMR wheels in the same specs (19x8.5et45) it normally comes down to tyre size between the not 100% legal 225/35 (due to load rating) and 235/35

are you lowered? that plays a big part

To be honest I haven't even thought about to check other wheels to compare.

My car is not lowered, but I don't want the wheels to stick out of the guards. Also, I would be running the stock tyres that came with the car (19" talladega's).

which are a 235/35 from memory...?
itll be close. its a common wheel size for these cars as I said, so im sure someone will give you the answer

they will poke out. stock is 19x8 offset +50 or +51.

19x8 offset +42 is probably the max, but this will rub with 235 35 19.

19x8 +45 will still rub without fender modification.

rubbing occurs on hard cornering.

but dont let this stop u fr going a nice stance but please avoid SUV stance without lowered

BUMP please help

why change the wheel to a more aggressive spec when your already questioning 8.5et45?
your question has already been answered

Hey Paul,

thanks for that. I am still not sure what to get. I want the OZ Ultraleggera in 19x8 +45 but no-one has got any in stock.
Ah, btw I got the control arms installed (sorry). What a difference when you start pushing around corners. I'm gonna get the roll centre adjusting ball joint as well. Can't wait.
