Have a look in here. I scanned 2 pages then got fed up. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2123.30.html

Also the rears will be rubbing like a knut if you lower it any at that size.

thanks for the link

so 9.5 wouldnt fit the rear on a MK5? is 8.5 the max you can go with standard arches?

or did you mean the ET45 wouldnt?

It will fit but its 31mil further out than a monza so if you plan to lower it any it will rub. My wheels are 8.5 with 45 offset and its right on the limit in my opinion.
I would say those reps weigh about the same as a small country as well, which will also add to the rubbing issues.

out of interest are yours 18's or 19s and what tyres size you running.

19ins with 235, but i would go for 225's next time to give a bit more clearance.

Sunny,

Google image search with 'Golf mk5 BBS LM' or words to that effect.
You should see quite a few variants, some with the red lip etc... Quite a few of the results are on this forum as well as the US forums - Good inspiration though.

I've done the same recently to inspire my new wheel ideas
