B41LEY 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Have a 92 vr on original speedlines with standard brake set-up and standard suspension. All 4 tyres are due for replacing and rather than spend money buying new tyres i am considering changing the wheels all together. I only have a small budget of £150-200 max to buy new alloys with tyres so secondhand will be the way to go. There's plenty of sets on ebay for this kind of money, many wth the alloys in excellent condition with part-worn tyres. I would prefer to upgrade to 16's and avoid 17's. Will any mk4 golf or audi tt alloys fit straight on or are the stud off-sets different? Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated. Nearly bought these yesterday but wasn't sure they would fit. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0449551431 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayGT 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Lots of VW wheels that use the Mk 4 platform will. So you're looking at Golfs, Mk 1 TT, older A3 and various Seats... Important numbers are 5x100 and if you have standard brakes/suspension clearance wont be a problem... oh these will fit http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=82308 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted July 22, 2009 if you have standard brakes/suspension clearance wont be a problem... Not strictly true. The brace bar on the 280mm calipers does come into play with a fair few sets of wheels. If you stick to OE VW your ok but aftermarket ones sometimes have issues.

JayGT 0 Posted July 22, 2009 I was referring to OE wheels as he said he was looking at Mk4/TT alloys.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B41LEY 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Just a quick question, these alloys should fit yeah ??? 5x100 16inch vw alloyswheels won!.jpg[/attachment:1od3s6rr] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayGT 0 Posted July 24, 2009 They look like A3 wheels so yep will go straight on. Stud pattern and centre bore will be the same. Tyres might not be ideal though. On 16s you want 205/45/16 or 215/40/16... I think :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B41LEY 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Just won them on ebay, going to collect them tomorrow afternoon hopefully. There was only the 1 picture and a very short description, lets hope there in good condition !!! I'll post some photos up when i get them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Heres a crap photo of what they look like with the correct tyre fitted. Will clear 312mm brakes as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayGT 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Not bad... chunky 5 spokes always work well on the Corrado. Are the 7J? what size tyres you got on there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Not my car. they are 7in wide IIRC and ET32. Tyres look to be 215/40's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B41LEY 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Don't understand how you can tell what size tyre's they are from such poor photos??? Have the wheels i've just brought got the wrong tyre's on ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted July 24, 2009 Don't understand how you can tell what size tyre's they are from such poor photos??? Have the wheels i've just brought got the wrong tyre's on ??? They will have I guess 55 profile tyres to suit the A3 rolling radius size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
