Quick question about wheels
« on: March 30, 2010, 05:22:12 pm »
People, hello.

A friend is asking whether he can put 8.5x19 BBS with ET35 on his GTI. Is it possible? Will they poke a lot?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Another question (since I haven't visited the forum for at least half a year now). Is Hurdy still around? Did he change turbo on his E30? :smiley:

They will stick out, but more so at the front.  Personally with an 8.5 rim I would say ET 45 is the max at the front and ET40 for the back, unless the person is wanting a wide look with stretched tryes (not my cup of tea). :laugh:  I'm sure others will have different opinions on this!

Is that related to Hurdy? What do you then mean?

Hi Peskarik,

Yes I'm still around and tinkering with the ED30.

I sold on the Garrett kit I bought off Jonnyc and decided to fine tune the K04. Running very well at the moment (see sig), added quite a few bits and pieces.

Bilstein B16's to replace the Eibach's
VF engine and transmission mounts
Neuspeed turbo discharge pipe
S3 rear brakes
Forge K04 actuator
RS4 valve
and a few other pieces  :wink:
