Audi s3 wheel question
« on: 20 January 2011, 08:25 »
Long time no post!!! Thought I'd cone and share my questions with you lot and see how I get on...


Basically, currently running a 2003 Audi s3 (the golf sadly went a long time ago) and I'm picking up some Brabus monoblocks on Sunday. Et 30(I've been told?) 8.5 fronts 9 rears 18" all-round. But in order to fit them, obviously they require adaptors. The guys supplying them but they are 25mm thick. Question is: will they fit? Any ideas?

Regards

Rob

That's going to effectively make them et5! Sounds like its going to be a squeeze to me

Just spend some time actually looking into this and turns out they are Et 35 and 8 fronts and 8.5 rears. Worst case senario the grinder will come out and I'll make them fit! They are the monoblock iv. Apparently a few people have had them on mk4 golfs...

Your going to better with 15mm adaptors, et10 is going to be very tight.

Hmm I'll just have to wait and see, after some digging on wheel whores, one guy has some on his passat and his are et55?!? Hmmm! Think I'll just collect them and hope for the best.
