Hopefully this is in the right place, feel free to move if not mods!
Basically i'm after a GT TSI 170 at the moment and i'm currently shopping around for wheels (slightly jumping the gun haha)
I want to go down the slammed, wide wheels look as I feel MK5's pull it of perfect! So I would love some BBS RS wheels but simply won't shell out 1k+ for a set of wheels! So I have found the Calibre Vintage wheels as these look exactly the same and i'm willing to pay the price for them as they look mint!
I'm wondering if the certain size's fit/what would be best? :
17" or 18" ? will the car be too low being slammed and on 17"
also will 17/18 x 9 wheels fit on the rear without arch rolling or modification at all ?
Will the 17/18 x 8 wheels fit on the rear without arch rolling or modification at all ?
And for the front will 8" wide be ok without rubbing (may require 3-5mm spacer to avoid the spring - I know haha)
Offset is all ET35 by the way!
That's about it for now guys! Thanks in advance!!!
