    anything is possible, you just gotta make it work...... offset and tyre choice is a main factor

    i was thinking bora sport wheels 5x100 17x7 front 17x7.5 rear right offset and will be the only 17 inch wheels that will fit the brake set up

    ideally i would love a set of 18inch BBS RS wheels but they are as rare as rocking horse poo i spoke to AMG gallery which are bbs stockist and i can order LMs but they are 500 a wheels without tyre so that wont be for a while.

    Any other suggestions

    Bora Sport wheels are all 17x7.5 I believe, but yes, will fit over R32 brakes from the research I've done.

    There are other 17s that will fit apparently, but they're relatively rare.

    What wheels do you have at present?

    EDIT: Apparently these fit over R32 brakes: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=25610

    How much would you spend? I reckon you can't beat a set of "motorsport" wheels, like something from Compomotive or Speedline.
