VR6 Gotti fitment questions

[sixpotter 0]

Just found the rims I want at the only time I've been able to afford them, so I just wondered who is good at working out what fits what with ETs etc as I don't have a clue.

 

Below is a link on e38 to the wheels themselves.

 

Any help appreciated. Nobody buy them please :D

For those not on e38 here is are the details copied and pasted, however the pics are worth a peek if you can get on it :)

 

Info as below:

 

3pc Gotti 16x8 et17 fully polished (recent refurb)

 

pcd 120

 

With 16mm thick SOLID STEEL adpaters (5x100) So final offset with adapters is ET1.

 

195-40-16 falken tyres One tyre is getting low on tread.

 

Will get pic's up soon as

 

Don't see 16" gotti's come up very often so pricing is difficult.

 

Lets say £1200ono thats roughly what they cost me.

i'm pretty surprised they're not sticking out more on his golf than the pictures show tbh.

put it this way - 8in wheels stick out 18mm more than standard 6.5s do, and then on top of that you've got ET1 instead of ET43 so an extra 42mm. 18+42 = 60mm or nearly 2.5inches more poke than your speedlines. I hope you like ridiculous tyre-stretch :)

I don't really want to have ridiculous stretch nor do I want butchered arches....BUT the wheels are flippin tasty as sin!

 

Arch rolling etc is going to require paintwork am I right?

i think sometimes you can get away with it but there's no guarantee you wont get a crack even if you're careful. proper arch flaring obviously does yes.

Very nice wheels but wrong fitment unfortunately :(
