which wheels?

[ffoff]

ffoff - you spy these as well? I have ben debating them for 3 days now!! haha, golfs just seem to work with jdm wheels, especially splits! The weight of them is blowing my mind - soooo light.

Haha yeah man. Was never going to be able to afford them but! Can't wait to see them all fit up

8 inch rears test fit, mounting face is flush with wheel and just touching strut, I feel like around a 20mm spacer will get this sitting pretty nice. According to my wheel offset calculations that would put me 36mm out from a stock vr6 wheel, inner clearance would be 2mm less which I think would be cool. final offset et26 on rears - this sound right to you rayray? 20mm spacer up front would leave me heaps of inner clearance and about 26mm more poke than a stock wheel, could almost go 25mm front spacer giving 31mm more poke up front final offset et18 up front.

Think thats right. Anyway - they will fit with spacers.

with those offsets and stud patterns would these be subaru wheels?? If so, id be checking centrebore before you go do any painting.
Looking good though!

yeah Dylan, they are def subie wheels - circa 1991 - 1994, you thinking centre bore will be to small? I am semi confident only cause I have seen a guy on the vortex running them.....

hmmm sorry must have posted the same time as above. yeah most would be only 56 if im correct..., but hey, obviously its fitting over your hub! looks good!

If you test fitted them, would not you have noticed if the centre bore was too small? Anyway, they're going to look good you can make anything fit with spacers, adapters and if it comes down to it, machine work. What happened to the Audi wheels?


Not trying to derail the thread, but I'm guessing you're in QLD now? the http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...1-a-59521.html is this weekend if you havent heard about it already.

I was only worried about the inner clearance, but if you're spacing them out, then no worries!

centrebore is all good, spacers to give me some inner clearance and flushness and I think these will be sweet.
