Post by: mike. on 07 January 2012, 20:13

Thinking of putting these on but not sure about the offset, would I need spacers ??

I wouldn't have thought you would need spacers. If you leave the current Monzas on as well. they'll stick out plenty far enough. You might need the little spats off an R tho', when it comes to MOT time.

I ran a Mk2 with a similar set up a few years back, except I fitted the extra wheels to the rear as well.

I'd get your existing alloys refurbed in satin or gloss black.

What size are they?

I think you might want to go a size bigger on the rears then it'd look like a hot rod!  :laugh:

just use an angle grinder on the arches, or a 350mm spacer  :grin:
