Wheel Fitment Guide

(1/3) > >>

The wheel man:
As there seem to be loads of posts about that will and wont fit on the GTI i though it could be a good idea to have some sort of wheel fitments guide.  This is where you guys come in!!  What i need is the size, width and offset  of the wheels your running, tyre size and ammount lowered (if at all)  Any issues with rubbing would also be usefull.  What i can then do is work out the minimum and maxumun clearance for each diameter / width to give an easy guide IE

18x8       Offset range 40 to 50 - Tyresize 225/40/18.  Upto 40mm lower no rubbing
18x8.5    Offset range 45 to 50 - Tyresize 225 or 235/40/18 Upto 30mm lowering no rubiing with arch bolts removed.

What do you think?
