hi there!
i have a 1999 Golf gti 1.8 (n/a), im looking at getting the BBS ch alloys BUT i don't know if 18"'s will fit (tyre size 225/40/18) would i need to roll the arches? or will they fit fine? as far as i know the car is still all standard and currently has 195-65-15 wheels.... or will i have to go for 17"'s on the 205/40/17??
Pictures of what 18"'s and 17"s look like would be brilliant
thanks! :)

18"s will fit fine and look better. :smiley:

both those cars look MINT!
so your saying mine wont need any work done to have 18"s? i just dont want to spend this money for nothing :(
-
I had know problems with the 18s,the 19s only scraped once due to me putting on 10mm spacers on the rear for a fatter stance and like i said previously i had a car full and hit a really bad bump on the brow of a hill.no arches rolled or anything else :wink: they fit like a glove :cool:

As long as you run the correct offset you will be fine.
-
+1 on the offset, if it's wrong you may need spacers depending on the width of the wheel, then you risk having scraping On the arch so arch rolling would be best idea. Speaking from first hand experience unfortunately :(

the alloys i got my eyes on are the BBS CH offset 35 tyre size 2254018? so should they fit without hassel?
thanks

Sorry to hijack you thread, but a similar question of my own.
I have one of the early AGU GTi Turbos, but it has the 15" 5 spoke alloys on it. I have been looking at some 17" ones from an Audi TT (225/45/17) which i believe will go straight on, but will it affect the speedo with the 2" increase in size? or would i need to specify some specific tyres to balance it out? Any advice would be greatfully received
