Hey guys i no you have probably had this before but would 16x9j d90 alloys fit on the back of my mk2 with
205/40/16 tyres ???? :smiley:
-
i would have thought so mate mate but you will deffinatly need adaptors to fit them etc :smiley:
-
thanks mate
-
no problem mate bt im sure some of the other guys on here will be able to tell you for deffinate :smiley:
-
Arch mods will be needed.
-
Is it lowered?
-
Yes they would fit but you will have to roll the arches which isnt too hard, check out Lemski's ride out called Project Neg, he has just done his front one as he wants to take his car so low :grin:, i am sure he will give you helpful hints about what he did? You need some adaptors to make the wheels fit but the end result will make the car look fat as fuc* mate :grin:.
-
safe thanks kai will take a look now
you have to see these tho check em out and the price well i wont say to much because if anyone new they would be gone so fast

D90s fit mate. Easy if you roll and pull arches. Its all about the stance.
-
Pm meet instead then i promise not to tell anyone. There is a guy who makes adaptors for the wheels to fit your car, his user name is BenVictors, pm him for a price on them as dont think you will find them cheaper?
When i first looked at the wheels i was a bit :undecided: but now i have looked again im like :cool: :cool:
How did you manage to find them?????? Fancy a swap for some ATS cups :grin: :grin:
-
think i might get r-teck to do the arches for me seein as i dont no the first thing i need 2 get rid of my bbs rx alloys so i can get these ones so i am praying they go soon lol
-
and lots of serchin lol
-
Well maybe look at putting the wheels on ebay and pistonheads???? Im pritty sure yours should sell ok considering they are coming with tyres???
Can't wait to see what the D90's will look like on your car, photoshop them onto it??? :grin:
-
i aint got em yet coz i aint got the money till i sell my rx's such bad times so i am doing evrething to sell them then will get them :)
i dont have photoshop or the no how on doing that :grin:
-
that is the great thing about this site, there are many people on here you know how to use photoshop, so all you need to do is post a pic of the car and a pic of the wheels and ask someone to do it, there is a section on the general part that people post this side of thing and let the geeks do there magic :grin: :grin:
If you really need them selling quickly then wack them on ebay and set a reserve on them?
-
dam the d90's just sold i think i might cry :( there will always be more i gess
i got them up in 3 places now for 220 so will see how it go's
-
You need to ask the seller what the offset is. As they are 9's i'd suspect they are off a wide bodied porsche in which case they'll be around et25. Subtract the thickness of the spacers and you'll be et10 at best. With a 9 inch wheel you'll need some hefty arch mods.
If its any help i was running 9 x 17's on my golf. Et 53 with 20mm adapters. The inner edge of the wheel was catching on the strut so needed 3mm spacers.
Rolling my arches wouldn't have been close to enough work.
Bashickly if they are high offset (around 50ish) you should be fine but may need to space them out slightly. If they are shallow offset you're screwed.
The offset should be cast into the wheel near the valve.
-
ok thanks that makes sence :)
-
The offset on my 8's is 52.3 i believe, i think the wider the wheel the higher the offset? in the Old skool porsche category mate!
I know that Silver Roses, which are virtually D90's are ET60 in 9J ;)
I'm wondering what price those D90's went for...?
-
Yes i would be intrested to see what they went for, like you said there are other set out there. Are you after really wide wheels or was it you just found them and though fu*k yeah they will do :grin:
-
they went for £250 :laugh:
and well i want 7.5j f and 8j b
but i ment 9j would look fatttt and in that colour would be mad

Seein as they've sold now :lipsrsealed:
-
:o £250 is dirt for a freshly refurbed set of D90's!
If you find some with 9's at the rear i'll swapsies for my 8J rears?
-
there the ones they are so pretty
-
mmm sounds like a bit of fake bidding going on? To be fare that hasworked in your favour Adam :smiley: Another chance to win them?????
-
And yest they are very cheap for that sort of width, i would check that they are defo stright and balance up ok with tyres???? Otherwise if all ok then get the credit card out asap :grin:
-
True true well guna sell my bbs's first then start looking agen coz i no there aint no way i can get some till i do that. if i wernt being bum f*%ked buy my insurence would be alot easyer to get them :smiley:
-
they dont look like 9j, at least 2 of them rims are 6j by looking at the pics and id say 8j rears (at the most)and the refurb looks wack, powdercoat my ass, the faces have just been sprayed ina nasty pink..
if they were 9j the price was good, but factor in the price of a refurb in a decent colour and a good job will be circa £250 + and also same for adapters, then theirs the rubber....
got about 1k in my rims... and i have a spare too, mine are the 8j all round
-
IMO there's other wheels I'd have before i spent 1k on D90's
-
I do like the D90's and are a very good option for the mk2 but the other day i was sat trying to see if i prefer D90's or Borbet A's????
-
See d90s for me.
Failing that teledials or banded steallies.
3 fav wheel choices.
-
IMO there's other wheels I'd have before i spent 1k on D90's
cool
IMO their is not...
different boats for different folks aint it :grin:
-
Yes and one big boat for all the folks with Porsche wheels on their Golfs.
Labelled 'ripped off sheep'
:grin:
-
Has anyone got a pic of these wheels on a golf??? Not D90's but came off a 928 and look very similiar to them.

Good price too :grin:

:grin:
My 17 inch twists cost 140 quid with tyres, which i sold to fund more suitable sized ones.
Current boxster wheels cost £54 quid.
-
Phonedials ftw :cool:
-
Arches deffo rolled to fit, unless your not lowered
-
With the 8j ET52 , if you were rolling/pulling the archs 60mm lowered if that maybe 50mm can the wheel actually go up in the arch without hitting , with 195/40 streched
I've got some for mine and i dont intend to be going slow and going for a show look i want them to be driveable ? roughly put them in space and they touch on the suspension with 10mm stub axle spacers im sure another 10mm will cure that ,
Has anyone reported bad handling with say 8j's ? ive been told by two people saying mk2s handle bad on D90's
