    ray! the king! hahah

    I'm thinking that 205/40's on the rear may have helped on those schmidts? I only say this, cause a 195/45 is a HELL of a lotta stretch on a 9" wheel.

    Thanks heaps for the info ray!

    Will be able to reply when i have time.

    Off the top of your head can you remember what offset mickeys Schmidt ML were? the rears that is? id love to buy them but i cant have a 7.5 on the front! toooo skinny! plus the concave on the 9" is just perfect!

    True that jarred the 195/45 would imo look that little bit too much stretch i think! then again it all depends on the look of the rest of the ride!

    Any millimetre helps in this game! 205/40 would've been a lot better (same situation Bima is in now) but the cost is more and choice of tyre is limited too.

    do you have a VR6 or GL/CL? there is HEAPS of info in the mk 3 section about wheels, since it's a pretty common modification...

    non vr6 is 4x100, vr6 is 5x100

    Your friend is right, if you get the wrong pcd, they aren't going to fit (without adapters atleast, but be ready to spend like $400 for those)
