« on: 30 June 2018, 08:01 »
Found these wheels

They’ll fit ok, REVO and VWR wheels are the same dimensions and offset.

I ran 8x19 ET41 and those linked to will extend another couple of mm further out so will just about be ok. Maybe an occasional slight catch on the fronts but my R wearing 235 Contis never touched the arch or liner.

I'm running the same wheel size (except they're ET46) lowered on Eibach Sportlines and there are no issues.

If you're lowered you might need to do the fender screw mod but it's all good apart from that.
