Title: The Normal - Would these fit question?
Post by: blacksheeptdi on February 21, 2012, 08:23:37 am

front 8.5" et38 or et45 and rear 9.5" et35 or et43 rear with 66.6cb and 5x112 PCD

Would they fit?

I'd say that et35/38 is not going to fit at those widths for definite without some kind of rubbing, et45 would be better but still going to be close I think?
Centre bore is wrong so will need spigots, oem is 57.1mm iirc

9J ET41 sits about flush with the arches. It's a common Bentley fitment for comparison purposes.

Here's an offset calculator so you can get an idea of what will and won't work:

They will be fine, same width and offset as TD pro race 1.2s which sit perfect in a mk5 arch imo  :happy2:
