The MK5/6 Wheel thread!
Eddcunningham:
Don’t suppose anyone knows the centre cap size for BBS CH024’s from an Audi A3 do they?
I got some new VW caps, but they’re waaay too small, so ended up using some stick on ones for the time being. I’m now wanting proper caps for when I fully refurb the wheels.
I’ve measured the outside and it looks to be 70mm, but can’t quite accurately measure the inside diameter.
ROH ECHT:
I haven't found anything remotely like this in this forum. There may be, I'm just not seeing it. So, I'll post it and perhaps the OP can copy and paste in the first post so to be easier to find. I know it is relative to original ride height given it relates to drop, but it is somewhat close regardless.
dubburke:
Can anyone help me, I have bought some genuine Porsche 996 rims 7.5 x17 front 8.5x17 rear,
Tyres are 225/45/17 front 245/40/17 rear offset is 50, with the porsche adapters, will these fit ok? The car is not lowered
ROH ECHT:
Depends on the adapters...With no adapters, oem offset is 51et and oe is 18x7.5 wheels and run 225 series. So, those you have should run the fronts about flush with where oe would be and the rear should be about/near 10mm more outward. But since I know not what the adapter thickness is, you will need to do the measuring of them and apply the additional measurement to the existing wheels to see where the new ones might end up. Find a straight edge...you can add and attach something to the edge to mimic the additional poke and see where the straight edge ends up. Or, try holding the straight edge at the additional poke(tougher to do). Basically, you need to see where the wheels you have now would be in relation to the fender/arch with the spacer/adapter thickness added to the front; and the spacer thickness plus 10mm in the back.
GTI DAZ:
i find this site very useful. put in your current wheel set up and your designed set up ans it shows on the left the change. IE.
stock: 18" with 225 40 18 ET51
desired: 17" with 235 45 17 ET45
0.3mm closer to the strut, 12.4mm more pokeing out,
30mph will now be 29.72mph
60mph will now be 59.43mph
ride hight gain 3.05mm
