Title: Borbet A Centre Bore
Post by: zdebx on 02 April 2010, 12:12
Got myself Borbet A's 7.5x16, and only now realized that I will need different spiggot rings, than what I have on the car at the moment.

I'm trying to figure out what is the exact size of the centre bore? I measued myself, and it's 66mm, but looked around the Net and the official website, and found out it's actually 64mm?

So what's the correct size?  :shocked:

I've got 7x16's with stretched tyres and 35mm spacers. seems alright to me! lol

Exactly, 7x16, not 9x16  :laugh:
Title: Re: Borbet A Centre Bore
Post by: VR6-Joe on 02 April 2010, 21:08
What I'm trying to say is, the spacers are wider than 2" so the wheels stick out equally as far, so should technically drive the same as 9x16's :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know that, but I don't know what's the exact centre bore of the alloy...

64mm as far i know
Title: Re: Borbet A Centre Bore
Post by: zdebx on 03 April 2010, 13:24
I will rely on the official website, and buy the 64mm ones.

Actually I managed to find them on eBay, and have ordered today. So will get them around next week and will fit the Borbet's on the weekend probably or during the week, if I have time...

Yessssssssssss  :laugh:

Anyone, who wants my Lenso's, let me know :)

Why would it drive crap :P

Wider rims = more tyre = more grip? Or am i wrong?

We already drive boats, Might aswell go low and wide :D

True dubs ^^

Well, eventhough the rims are wide, you can't put some massive tyres on a Golf.

Even, when you put 215 wide tyres on 9" wide rim, there's a slight stretch, I believe...
Title: Re: Borbet A Centre Bore
Post by: jonnypolish on 04 April 2010, 10:47
more than a slight stretch!
I have a set of 8J D90's and they are in the region of 235 wide! so 215 would stretch on those let alone 9J!

But i saw a Mk2 G60 the other day with 9J Borbet A's and it looked the NUTS!!
But very impractical for a daily hack :D
