I bought some new wheels advice required please

Good day fellow GTI ers

I have just treated myself to some new wheels as i finally (with help from the forum) solved my running issues

any way this has what i've [strikethrough]brought[/strikethrough] bought

[/URL][/IMG]

the info that went along with the wheels

SET OF FOUR BRAND NEW ALLOY WHEELS

7 & 8 X 15 (STAGGERED FITMENT)

ET 15 / 20

PCD: 4 X 100

Set of four - ALL BRAND NEW

Supplied with part worn 195/50/15 tyres

I'm going to see what the tyres are like but more than likely going to replace.

So finally what would you suggest for rubber!

I am running a 1.8t if that makes any difference

 

Nice!!

 

You might find the profile is quite large being 50.

On my BBS's and my previous BBS Ra's, I was running 195 45's which looked great.

Depends how low you go really.

 

But these will fit i hope ?

 

I'll send you some picture tomorrow of the porsche D90 mate if your still interested

 

Yeah they will fit, but depending on how low you are they might rub.

 

Oh no... its pretty low lol

 

lol

Once you receive them, get them fitted and go for a drive to see if they are catching / rubbing.

Worst case you need lower profile wheels.

 

I would keep the D90's on it ..sorry
The offsets on your new rims are not right for a mk2

 

I agree actually

Btw Lewis, there are a mint set of BBS RM's for sale in the classifieds for a great price. These would be better suited and will be the correct offset. I'm sure you were looking for a set a while ago ?

 

Wrong, they will fit no problem. Maybe a minor fold of the arch lip if really low, and I'd get some 195/45 on there.

 

Cool

 

Not wrong look up how offset affects your handling and low offsets look daft ...a minor fold lol ...what arch? Them rims would be better suited to a RWD car

 

I'm gutted if these came up sooner I would have snapped them up.

 

Rms in 7 to 7.5" would suit that car of yours well and they have a factory offset of Et33 for a 6.5" rim

 

Don't say that.. even more gutted now.

 

So how bad are my ones I've just brought

 

Found dis

 

They look very nice and was always first choice. But I got mine now so got to live with them...

But you got me thinking now am I going to experience any issue with mine

 

Et15 is mad, proper offset for a 8" rim would be et38+ maybe get away with et28 at a push wouldn't be me.
See a lot of golfs with clean rotten arches due to clowns wanting daft wrong wheels on their Golfs to be "Scene"
May aswell go the full hog and fit some Bags and remove your scuttle panel
