Hi guys,
looking for wheel advice, mainly size.
I want something that looks like lenso bsx type wheels, but better quality.
Currently the car is not lowered although it will be on coli overs sometime in the next year or so and i will want a drop, but not too low (speed bumps everywhere here!!)
what can you suggest and what size wheels will fit on a golf?
thanks
-
16" with 195 or 205/45's is a good choice :afro:
-
going to guess another person wanting to go euro!?
who cares about speed bumps i live around loads of them but manage, and i cant even fit a pack of chewing gum underneath mine

Calibre Vintage, same style, massive difference in quality. Talking from experience, had both sets.

Nope, car has not really been anywhere this week. :smiley:

no worries was working up that way and was playing with a rs thought it might have been yours
-
The Calibre Vintage are a very good alternative although I've not seen them in 16". Only 17 & 18.

Best rs/rm alike I've seen. Could also go with 17" to fill the arch if you're not going that low.
-
Cool thanks guys.
Gash, I would love to say yes, but I'm not really unto speed on what styles what lol.
On that note can anyone show me a few different styles, euro etc.
I will check out the vintage's.

Max size is 17x8 with 215/40 tyres.

Wayne how wide should I go in inches and what sort of offset don't want any rubbing if possible.
-
Lowest offset you can realistically do at the front is ET25, rear ET15... lower if you shove a camber shim in there.

Et30 or 25 is a good choice :smiley:

Would the Vintage Calibre 17x8's be ok? cant find the offset?
Has anyone fitted them? can i lower a little still?

Yep 205/40/17's tyres are what you need, I ran the same size with a 45mm drop all ok.
-
I believe ET32 is the Vintage offset, they sit pretty much flush with the arch, so you can either run stretched tyres or roll the arch, althought the rubbing without arch roll is minimum - depends how slammed you want it to be.
-
Cool thanks everyone, pretty much set on these now.
Prob run them at standard height then sort some coil overs.

Now your just being naughty Wayne!
They look gorgeous, what does he mean by double drilled?
Would an 8" with et20 fit front and a 9" et25 rear?

Double drilled is 2 fitments.
Yes they will fit but you may need to tweak the arches.
