Title: Wheel size?
Post by: Wooly46 on February 10, 2015, 01:48:43 pm
Being a relative new by to the vw golf I just wanted to get a bit of info regarding the wheels I have on my car. It's a 07 gttdi sport with coil overs and it's fitted with 19" kahns with 225/35/19 tyres. My question is, I'm looking to get a set of 3SDM 0.01s for the summer but I'm unsure exactly what the wheel dimensions would be ie width, OCD etc.
can anyone help so I can price up the new wheels.
Cheers

18x8.5 et 42 and 18x9.5 et 45

205/40 front 225/40 rear.

Does this mean I can't have 19s back on it?

If you want it to sit the same as on the kahns then get 19's if you want to go lower then it's easier on 18's

I'm quite happy with the way it sits so I do want 19s but I'm unsure about what other info I need ie offset etc. Basically I want them the same as the kahns, would it have the size info somewhere on the wheels I've got?

It should be stamped on the back of the spokes somewhere.
