fittind amg wheels
« on: 30 October 2011, 13:34 »
i have checked the wheel fitment guides but im still not sure so i'll ask.

i will be buying my dads mk4 gti in the near future and i am looking to fit some amg wheels i have. i know there 5x112 pcd and the golf is 5x100 so would need stud adapters but i want to make sure there is room for the adapters with the offset.

the wheels i have are 17x7.5 et 37 front and 17x8.5 et 30 rear

can i fit these wheels

thanks for help,

It's going to be tight with the offset, your adaptors are going to be about 20mm reducing your offsets to ET17 & ET10 :undecided:

Is it lowered?

Not really, et10 is going to so so close, your going to need to pull / flare the arches.
