rs8 alloys
« on: 02 June 2009, 23:23 »
just seen these for sale and asked the seller if theyd fit a mk3 16v and he reckons they should?????

set of RS8 wheels for sale.
They are multi fitment, 5x100 and 5x112.
There are tyres on the wheels. 2 tyres are very good, 2 tyres need replacing due to being worn on insde due to tracking  the tyres are Talon Triangles, 225/40/18.

Not a hope in hell you will get them on a mk3, 225/40/18's need to be switched to 215/35/18 and even then you not going to be able to lower it, I struggled with 17's and 205/40/17's.

No worries, 18's will look way too big on a mk3 as well.

Agreed, it'll make it look like a Tonka toy.
