Post pictures of what you’ve got!!

There isn't anything better for an ED30 imo, the Pescera is a massive part of it's identity.

Can't agree with that. You have the BBS VZ with the same design but a bit wider size (8'' vs 7,5'') and better ET (ET44 vs ET51). :smiley:

Hmmmmm, 8" might look a bit better actually. Do the VW centre caps fit the VZ? Is the 9mm offset difference 9mm further out, or 4.5mm inboard + 4.5mm outboard?

VZ are et44.
So you'll get the half inch extra width (6 and a bit mm either side of centre) and 7mm offset.
Therefore there'll be about 13mm more poke.

Ah OK, thanks mate. Sod that then, in that case :smiley:
I don't like messing with the factory scrub radius.

The BBS VZ come from factory fitted in the Audi A3 which shares the same suspension parts with the Golf. I wouldn't worry about it. I run 8'' wide wheels with ET45 and can't complain, only praise the improvement. :smiley:

Thanks for the correction. My memory failed me. :ashamed:

These are what I run .... a great looking wheel with the perfect offset for the golf and at around £650 new a bargain too !
