Wheel fitment questions
« on: 02 November 2014, 20:15 »
Hi there
Ive seen that 19" X 9" ET52 wheels fit the MK7 GTI without the tyres sticking out of the arches.

Now
How would 19" X 8.5" ET48 rims sit...?? Would these sit further in or out of the arch..??

Thanks for any feedback

They will fit slightly further in.
You'd need a 235 35 tyre.
Possibly the best compromise wheel fitment I reckon.
I've got 8x19 ET48 and they could use 5 or 8mm spacers on the back and 3 or 5mm front.

Pretty sure they will stick out further than standard with either of those choices.

Yes, they'd both stick out further than standard but the top set would stick out more than the bottom set.

Trust what exonian is telling you (not that others aren't to be trusted), he has a 'little' bit of experience with wheels.

No worries.

I'm guessing from the size of set no.2 it's possibly BBS CH-R's? That seems to be their recommended fitment for mk7's.
BBS usually get their offsets pretty spot on for their aftermarket stuff in Golf fitment.

Would these fit ok on a mk7 golf r,
BBS VZ 18x8 , 5x 112 et44
Goodyear ultra grip 8 - 225/40R 18, 92v XL

I don't understand offsets and alloy talk!

Yes, they will fit just fine and will use your original bolts too which is unusual for BBS wheels.
They will look a bit small though but ideal for winter use
