How much room do they give?
I have some et42's and BIG brakes :scared:
-
:signLOL:
I'd like to think they're designed for big brakes and have quite a lot of caliper clearance but theres big brakes and then there's BIG brakes.

They wont fit, sell them to me :booty:

I had Turinis on my old S3, I bought the exact BBK you have just purchased, off DaveB,on the proviso of going behind the Turinis. They will be fine bud

Brembos are a little chunkier, but I could stick a finger inbetween these.
I wonder if yours are my old wheels? There's not that many sets in circulation.

Yea, please :happy2:
-
I'll go look now, back in a min!
-
The cap is 60mm across its front face, but the hole is stepped to about 56 or 57mm at the point where the cap's clips fit. Does this help? I could take a pic?
-
Mike my turins fit over the 8pot & disk set up that Dave B sells with still a little room left

Over the moon Pete.
Need to find some propper Speedline Course Decals for the 1 that needs refurbing

Si/Mike, still remember them being an awkward size, something like 54mm (one or two mil below the standard fits around eBay and what have you).
I ended up getting some 3D dome vinyl logo things and stuck them on as I couldn't find a VW cap to seat properly. Came off a treat, nothing some AG tar remover couldn't solve.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Turinis. One quick question: with the stock suspension on my Edition 30 will they rub the fender?
-
Been very close to pulling the same trigger myself! One of the best OEM+ wheels for a MK5 ever :happy2:
They're 8J ET43 IIRC? If you hit a deep enough hole mid corner, they will indeed rub the arch. I've had arch contact from the OEM 7.5J ET51 wheels :doh:
You can mitigate the problem with stiffer suspension and/or stiffer ARBs though....and also removing the arch liner screw/tab.
