Dans grey MK5 GTI. Prepping for VagTuner
Dave J:
Gutted to read these didn't clear the brakes - I was expecting these to look epic on the car.
Any other wheel you are going for now?

Yeah I saw you were between a few sets for a while, I think that's the first time a saw these ones actually.

Yeah I really thought being a 'racing' wheel they'd have plenty of clearance, it was quite difficult for me to keep my calm tbh. I've got a couple of possibilities in mind ATM.
I've liked these for a while
But I saw these recently and I think they'd look awesome, luckily we've got a Porsche in at work that has these wheels on so I should be able to find out if they clear without having to buy another set of wheels only to have to return them.
Going to take a few days to think and return/ sell all the stuff I bought.
Shoduchi:
I'm sorry to read that the wheels didn't have enough brake clearance. I hope you can find a good set that suits your needs. :(

You'll be fine running H&Rs or Eibach's on track mate.
Consider going for a lower offset to gain extra clearance.

It was 48 or 35 and I think 35's would have given me clearance issues tbh. I've just been told I can't return them so its either make them fit or sell them :indifferent:, such a ball ache.
You think H&R's / Eibachs would be alright then? Even 10mm +? Seems a tad risky to me, I've got no issues with spacers/ adaptors on the road or 3mm/ 5mm on track but that size worries me a bit.
