Which wheels will fit on my golf?
tony_danza:
ET42 18x8 225 tyre.
I've now got 2 big holes in my front arch liners and I've forgotten how many times I've had a rubber mallet to the arch lip because they've pulled it.... still, it was funny doing it!
I'm ditching the liners and having the arches rolled :angry015:
tom619:
ok i have no idea what arch liners are and no idea what getting them rolled is lol! im just looking for a straight swap without the need to change anything else, and without potential rubbing, and that don't stick out much to void curbing lol what should i be going for?
oh and i read something about rim protectors what are these?

I have some wheels coming soon which are about 18 mil further out, which is right on the border of fitting without any other arch alterations or camber. :fighting2:

I think you'll struggle there TC. I'm currently running 8Jx18 CH with ET50 on a 12mm spacer which equals +13mm further out than the Monzas (if my sums are correct) because the damn 8mm H&R spacers haven't arrived from TTS Roadsport yet :sad: .
My car isn't as low as yours and I'm getting a small rub on compression, plus the wheel to my eye sticks out a touch too much.

I dont think your sums are correct Mark, you forgot to factor in the 1/2 inch extra wheel width which is a 1/4 inch to add to your total so yours at the minute are somewhere near 19 to 20 mil further out. :happy2:
+ i have some camber adjust mounts to go on as well, as i fancy a bit off sump scrape. :signIWS: :laugh:
