me and my mk3

[dylan8]

Same spec to what I'm running currently so they should fit although my caliper clearance is nearly nothing so hopefully the spokes don't hit. Damn you and your knowledge of wheels I wanted it to be a surprise but yes they're mk4. Stock 4motion bora wheels I think.

BAHAHAH sorry bro!!
didnt mean to ruin it!

I have the same for my bora, they clear the 312mm brakes so should be good on the VR.
i think they look great on the mk3 without the 205/55 tyres.

All good mate. I'm not very good at keeping secrets anyway haha. Yeah I'll probably run either 205/45 or 215/45 but that won't be till the tyres on my white wheels are bald. They aren't my favourite wheels but I think they'll suit my car and they turned up for a very nice price so I couldn't say no.

I don't really know much about tyres though so if anyone has suggestions about sizes, brands and places to purchase would be a great help.

And I'm less nervous now knowing that they fit your bigger brakes!

being the wheels arent going to be flush or some insane fitment, id just stick with trying to get some decent width while keeping to your correct rolling diameter or just a touch under. the sizes you listed sound pretty right compared to what a lot of the other guys are running.
id assume the callipers are bigger on the mk4 then the mk3

Well all the measurements are identical to my current wheels which are running 215/45 and speedo is spot on so probably just stick to that. Pretty sure vr6 callipers are 288mm so if yours are 312 mine are smaller and like I if all measurements are the same as now so they should fit no dramas. Thanks for all the help man, I appreciate it!

Hopefully I can make them work I can't seem to find any info about other people running them but once the centre bore is right I can always just use adapters to make it work. They would've been close for you, picked them up from East Maitland

Really wanted Jarreds modern lines but unexpectedly had some costs that took priority and so couldn't get the money together for them. After regrettably telling him this I found a set of 5x100 15x7 simmons 3 piece wheels on eBay about an hour north of me. Messaged the seller and managed to grab them for a good price so I went and picked them up this arvo/tonight.



After doing some maths I think they're et36 which isn't great but I might fix that with new lips or spacers or something.
The centre bore is 55mm so will need that machined out to 57.1
Haven't tried putting them on the car yet and they probably won't because of the centre bore, fingers crossed they'll clear calipers.

I know there's a lot of hate for 15's on a mk3 but I couldn't be fussy with my budget and the centres fit the 16" barrels if I can find some later on.

Thanks mate, I have actually tinted the indicators a little darker and tinted the fogs yellow. Not 100% sure I like the yellow yet. I'll take some pics and put them up soon.
