Bullet Steels, Do They Fit A 6n2?

Featured Replies

The only place I've ever seen these is in a for sale section.

Do they fit a 6n2 without spacers an such?

I'm not sure of the offset of them, so if anyone has the spec that would be useful!

they look pretty usable.

15 by 8J and the ones I want have 195 45 15 tyres

What you all saying? Will it or wont it fit?

Cheers guys! 8-)

They require spacers to clear calipers on a 6n i do know that. Tom brookes is running them, look in the mk4 section ;) You wont be going that low with them tyres though if thats your intentions.

I'm on 15s with 195 45 15s at the moment and I can't tackle most obstacles! So it shouldn't be too different to now

Obviously not all that low or have a very useable offset. Good luck! :-)

No, I'm not on the floor, unless i park on a road with too much camber ;D

The offset is 37 currently, on 7's Ronal Turbos you seee! But they sit dead in line with the arch :o

rear 9j et 0

If he can make those fit, I can make these fit ;D

He has widened arches. you can make 15x15's fit if you have the money.

Polomon correct they will scrub like a brush. Weren't you selling some ronal turbos that 'scrape over big bumps'??

Options are buy them and spend some serious pounds in arch work or buy them and grind the tyres off with your arches.

Barney speaks truth, I've modified my arches ALOT to fit a set of wheels i LOVED but now they're all scabby i regret it, i wish i'd of not bothered so make sure its something you really want if you do go down the modded arches route.

Other end of the spectrum too Ronal turbos in terms or offset...

^^^ it looks as though you just ran outside and went mental with a hammer to prove a point :lol:

I did? :lol:

Needed that bulge at the top man, wheel use to rub it haha. Adding a proper golf arch bubble when I cba. Like that silver bready that was owned by G40NUT.

Fuck aha, yeah I didn't get them, I'm not keen on arch work at all, I just want a set of plug and play wheels :-D

But it's never the case as we all know..

So now I've gone down the banded steels rout, again.. Nice bit of camber an stretch, Voilah!

What was the outcome here dude. I'm looking to buy a set of 13s. Will they fit without much hassle?

13's on a 6n2, noice.... could look awesome.

I've 13" banded steels on ATM I just need to know whether i could do 13" bullets. I'm already decided on 13x8 et 5 rears just not sure about fronts whether to go for et 5 or 20. Need advice!

Gonna have mega arch gap if you want to be able to move with 13s fitted. and id go et20 front as again you wont be able to go as low due to scrubbing. On my 6n I had 15x7&8 et 20 front et 15 rear. Front coilovers could be wound all the way down with 165/50/15 tyres on the front, and my cat would catch on cambered roads. I reckon it was about 100mm down. (spax coilovers dont go as low) I had 175/50s on rears but they were huge. Wanted to change those. I reckon with minor arch work (rolling) et 20 on a 7j is usable on front and et20 on an 8j is usable on rear, my opinion Through experience...

I'm running really low on my bandeds dude which are 13s. Have a look at my build thread (low on banded steels) I've hardly any if no arch gap at the front. Reckn I should go 13x7 et 20 at the front then?

I think 13's look WAY too small no matter how low you go, the space at the front and the back of the arch is daft, 15's are the PERFECT size on a mk5.

Agree with polomon. 15s work best. 15x7 et20 on front fit best imo. Lose the tractor stance!

I'm just wondering if I can get it as low on 15s. Going to try a set on tonight to see how it goes.

Well i can think of 3 cars off hand one being one of the lowest static mk5's and the other being lowest mk4.....
