Wheel fitment.

Would wheel 17" Front 8.5j rear 9.5 both ET56 fit a mk3 golf?
Just been looking at some corvette saw blades and they would look wicked on a mk3.

You'll need to roll/pull arches, and obviously you'll need adaptors! ET56 is a decent offset as there is plenty of room for the adaptors :wink:

Yes mate, you'll need to pull the rear arches a bit, hub centric do adapter's/spacers. ( mine are'nt sawblades though, saladshooters but same size as what your looking at.)

I think they are an odd pcd so you need 5x120 adaptors then wobble bolts.
