Wheel question...

[edarre]

I was just wondering... I like that old skool look on cars... you know, when they have like 15"s or 16"s... like the bbs rs or axis old skools...

I would want to go for that look on my car, but I'm just wondering if there would
be a problem with my car... I have an mk iv gli (2005) and those came stock with 18" bbs rc's and I have also lowered my car with a a bilstein and h & r springs setup...

Can anyone let me know if this would be a problem... Thanks.:tup:

Nah I don't think that would be a problem... well probably 15's would be too small. but 16's are fine... for example... i also like the old skool small wheel set ups of old cars and was worried a bit when i bought my mkv and i took a risk bought some keskin kt1s in 16 and i think it looks great.

if you are talking about if it would fit... its all about bolt pattern and offsets ;) and if you a have a BBK

[edarre]

so, probably 17's would be a better setup? If so what size tires should I run.

[edarre]

what tire setup did you run on those wheels?

[karl]

depends on the size/width of the wheels, whether you want a stretched look

heres mine, btw the wheels are for sale

[edarre]

that's pretty sick! what tires did you run on it and what suspension setup do you have?

[karl]

koni coilovers and 215/45 up front and 235/45 in the back in 17"
17x7.75 et 35 front and 17x9.5 et 19 rear

[edarre]

did you use spacers or something in the back? It looks to be wider.

[karl]

all the info is in my fs thread posted earlier and all the specs are just above your question.......wheels are staggared in offsets and widths
