Title: 20's on a edition 30
Post by: Ed30ste on May 16, 2016, 01:43:34 pm

Will 20" wheels go on or are 19's the biggest? Cheers

They will fit but will probably take some work making sure your ride height and the widths/ offsets are OK. There's a few MK5's running 20's, front arches will need to be rolled and flared at the minimum but wider ones would be best.

Out of interest though why do you want to put 20's on?

Yeah 19's are fine, I've had a few sets, just get the right width and offset. Something like 8j et45 is the sweet spot.

It partly depends how low you are going, if you are going quite low then you will need to have the arches rolled or at least the screw delete mod to fit nealrly all 19's or maybe 215 tyres will do it

Well yeah they will be fine with 225 tyres but will look a bit like a tractor on stock ride height

I thought it would look ok as the tyres will be a lower profile than the 18s that are on it now

Yeah, I've seen a couple and they don't look great, just do some googleing and see if it's alright for you

Standard ride height with 19s will look a bit poop IMO
