Anyone pulled it off yet? Found a set i would like but have no idea if i could pull it off. Mega stretch, pulled arches, etc etc.

Any pictures if someone has?

8.5j on the front, and 9j on the back.

I think they will probably need some serious pulling on the arches.

A friend of mine has just bought a set of 10j wheels to fit to his mk1 Golf. Luckily he has a berg kit to cover them up a bit hahahaha

Mmmm, thats what I'm thinking.

Has anyone got any pictures of anything close to those specs? All i need is a rough idea.

Shame i dont know the et so i could try and work it out :/

14s or 15s or 16s???

More than achievable In 14 and 15 inch.

I'm 8j and et 22 up front 185/45/15. Rears are 9.5j et 34 195/45/15.

Rolled arches. And you would poss need to trim where the bumper mounts slightly front and rear!

15s

Hmm, Dunno if it will be too much work and look OTT after

May just go 7.5s and 8.5s or something

The ET of the wheels will play a big part in it mate, so you should try find that out first.

What wheels were you looking at?

Yeah what wheels are they and offset and we can work out!

Can easy fit then with little work...rolling arches isn't major!

The rears on mine were 8s et 15 I fit larger inner barrels reducing the offset to 34 and increasing the width to 9.5j without creating more poke, so as above offset offset offset is key!

Ok lads, i'll find out then go from there

Cheers

Could also try this site mate - http://www.willtheyfit.com/

It wont be completely accurate, but once you know the ET's you will be able to have at least a rough idea of how much they will poke etc..

great site to use!!

also http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

will help explain widths and offset increases decreases!!
