[Picture Request] - Lowered Black GTI with Black BBS LM 19's
« on: February 20, 2010, 09:19:02 pm »
Hi all,

i'm looking for pictures of a Black GTi which is lowered on the following wheels

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vw-audi-19-inch-bbs-lm-style-alloys-et45-wider-rears_W0QQitemZ110496517363QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item19ba1b0cf3

Have a look in here. I scanned 2 pages then got fed up. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2123.30.html

Also the rears will be rubbing like a knut if you lower it any at that size.  :happy2:

thanks for the link

so 9.5 wouldnt fit the rear on a MK5? is 8.5 the max you can go with standard arches?

or did you mean the ET45 wouldnt?

It will fit but its 31mil further out than a monza so if you plan to lower it any it will rub. My wheels are 8.5 with 45 offset and its right on the limit in my opinion.
I would say those reps weigh about the same as a small country as well, which will also add to the rubbing issues.  :happy2:

Sunny,

Google image search with 'Golf mk5 BBS LM' or words to that effect.
You should see quite a few variants, some with the red lip etc... Quite a few of the results are on this forum as well as the US forums - Good inspiration though.

I've done the same recently to inspire my new wheel ideas  :wink:
