Rpmayne 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Sorry I know this has probably been aswered thousands of times but are the mk5 Golf alloys the same offset as the VR6 Corrado? Thinking of fitting some Golf mk4/mk5 205/55/16 alloys. Will these be rub free with a 40mm ish drop (gmax), given the increased profile aswell, even if the offset is the same? Thanks.

Supercharged 2 Posted January 30, 2006 Mk 5 are 112 PCD.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 30, 2006 Indeed they are but you'll be able to get copies before long in 5x100.... 205/55/16 is enormous mate, they look like balloons on the Rado..... cause I tried my mate's MK4 16s on mine :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Cheers, will forget that one then. Is the offset ok though? Did another search and found the VR6 offset is 43 because of the longer wishbones, haven't found what the mk4 offset or rim width is though. Hate rubbing wheels / rounding arches etc..

Rpmayne 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Can you fit 205/55/15 and 215/45/15 onto the 6.5J Speedlines? Can't remember how it works, is it an increase in width needs a decrease in profile.. which would mean the 215/45/15's would fit? Will it be a noticeably harsher ride?

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 8, 2006 Again, 55 profile 15s will be too big diameter wise. 215/45s might be OK though. The ride shouldn't suffer too much with those tbh. Most MK4 wheels are ET35. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks, I've seen some 215/45/R15's going cheap so will probably go for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rpmayne 0 Posted February 9, 2006 All ordered up, 4 new Toyo Proxies R's for £125.00 all in. Can't be bad, over £200 from Mytyres. Cheers for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rpmayne 0 Posted February 9, 2006 I've been searching a few other forums and found someone who had them going spare for £100 plus £25 p&p. Just a lucky find, hoping they last longer than the S's though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted February 9, 2006 Nice find :D Ive recently changed from 205/40/17s to 195/45/15 and noticed the car seems actually slower on acceleration think i will have to change to 195/50/15s :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rpmayne 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Knew it would be too good to be true.. Just doubled checked the fitment and 215/45/15's need a wheel width of 7-8J, and the speedlines are 6.5J. They haven't turned up yet but if/when they do, does anyone want 4 x Toyo Proxies R's (new design) for £125.00 which is what I paid plus P&P / pickup?
