offset is the key obviously otherwise it won't clear the calipers properly

anyone no the offsets?
Title: Re: would these wheels fit a vw?
Post by: Rhyso on 31 March 2008, 20:35
think the Golf is offset is 42 or thereabouts; the lesser the number the further the wheels stick out.

i was asking if you knew the offset of the celica wheels

They'll fit, bolt on and go over the calipers okay, but the centre bore is a few mm off. You'll want some 57.1 x 1.5mm spigot rings in there.

Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 01 April 2008, 13:26
As Topher says, the bore size is different, so you will need those adaptors.......  I don't think they'll be cheap buiying them on their own, either??  :undecided:

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread, just a very straightforward question, I only bought my Golf Mk4 this week, and I couldn't find a relevant thread.

Simple question, I know 18" wheels will go on a Golf mk4, but can you just advise if there's any rubbing/bottoming out issues I should be wary of?

The car isn't lowered or uprated sprung (yet) and I know it'll screw up my mpg and speedo to an extent, but I just dont want to fit them, put 3 mates in the car and find its rubbing.

Sorry again, not relevant to this but cant find the answer to this easily on the web.
