Title: bought 18" cruise wheels, now not sure if they will fit??
Post by: rugbymad on 05 February 2009, 16:38
hi folks

i bought 18 cruise wheels of dp motorsport in ayr  225/40/18 tryes fitted all for £630, bought th in nov and now im back in the country im going to fit them, i placed them against my car today just to get the look , and they look like they will be too big, not sure if it's just an illusion or not but i was assured these will fit a mk 5 golft gt sport, the tyres i have at the moment are the standard gt wheels with 205/55/16.. the standard 16" wheels.

what are your thoughts on this ? will they fit, will my speedo be out??  so many Qs , just worried i've made a boob.

thanks in advance
steph

if the rim's pdc is 112 with an acceptable offset then the rims with 225/40/18 tyres will fit and have the correct rolling circumference.

will fit fine, no problems.. unless they are the wrong offset or pcd like bacillus said.

Looking at the ebay advert they are offset 42 which is a little low, but should be okay. The PCD is 112mm and is fine. The alloys are 8" wide, which is also okay.

Get 'em on and let's have some pics!! :cool:
