Title: BBS RC041
Post by: av_golf on 02 October 2010, 15:01

hey guys, im thinking of putting the above wheels on my mk3 (originally off BMW). the fronts are 7.5x17, rears are 8.5x17 with an ET of 41. now instead of using adapters, i would most likely get them re-drilled. would they go on straight without any issues?

Nope you going to need arch mods really to get clearance.

205/40/17's is the correct size tyres.

Et is german for offset, the higher the number the further inside the arch the wheel sits
