X5 wheels help for Mk4 golf gttdi
« on: 25 May 2012, 22:15 »
Hi guys, im a complete noob so please be easy!

Basically i want to fit some x5 wheels on my car. Im after a flush fit and dont want to slam it. What sizes/mm would i need in tyres and wheel adapters to get a snug fit? I have jom coilovers so their adjustable but how low can i go for everyday use? Ive had a quote for some custom wheel adapters made from billet aluminium including all bolts for £200 from america. A guy called fred goeske, apparentely hes excellent at his work. Also seen some fk and h&r ones. Are these the better choice? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Played out? Sorry not familiar with the term? Do you mean common or too wide? I did pm him on ukmkivs to find out whether id require diffrent sizes to his wheel adapters and tyres because of how low he was. I guess the sizes will have to be the exact same as his. But any idea on the coilovers height? Thanx for your replies!
