The MK5/6 Wheel thread!

[Ed30ste]

Finally got my GNJ supplied VSs and summer tyres on. Very happy!

Perfect

[stuart-88]

3sdm 0.05 staggered. I'm finding out more and more they're marmite wheels!

[trs888]

I really like them!

8.5 inch fronts, 9.5 inch rears on stretched of course!

[stuart-88]

Looks great, TRS888. What tyres size have you got?

[jaffa]

215/40/18 and 225-40/18 there my wheels 

[stuart-88]

Are they 3sdm Jaffa? I have 225/40 all round and they catch all the time. I've seen 215/35 all round on 3sdm which I may go for later on in the year.

[jaffa]

yes they are 3sdm 0.05 

i was thinking about going for the 35 profile but they were going to be fitted to his car and the caddy as well so the 35 profile would have only looked rite on my car height

any lower than how my car is sitting ATM and id go 35 profile

here they are fitted to my car for reference

I have the 3sdm but the 0.01's with 225/40/18 I had to add max camber on rear to stop them ripping my arches off

[Kalpsn2000]

I have the 3sdm but the 0.01's with 225/40/18 I had to add max camber on rear to stop them ripping my arches off

I'm assuming those will be the 9.5's and you are riding low?

Asking cause I've been thinking about getting those but most likely 8.5's and I'm only lowered 30mm.

[northyracing]

Sorry forgot to mention staggered 8.5 front and 9.5 rears on coil overs back it quite low down front not silly low yet lol

Yes they're 9.5 on the rears with 225/40/18 and on his golf he's maxed out the rear camber !

also need help with picking up center caps

been looking at this site


http://www.purems.com/Products/BBSCENTERCAPS-BBS-Center-Caps


They say that...

BBS Caps fit ONLY genuine aftermarket BBS Wheels. They may not fit OEM, Replica,or other "Made by BBS" wheels.


I am sure that the C style(70/64) is like the OEM

Can somebody help me

Cheers

^^^^ I bought some original BBS ones from <a href="http://www.europeanautosource.com/">europeanautosource.com</a> in that fitment. Cost around £135 inc shipping and tax. Also try Phillip at <a href="http://www.pwmotorsport.com/Catalogue.aspx?cId=14&pId=42#Catalog1">pwmotorsport</a>, not sure if they've got any left though. German eBay have some for £130 ish, should fit....<a href="http://www.ebay.de/itm/BBS-Felgendeckel-Embleme-center-caps-rot-gold-70-6mm-/400500423032?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item5d3faf7978">German eBay</a>.

Jaffa your car sits perfect. I want to add camber but not 100% on how I'd do it and get it matching each side perfectly. Also worried about tyre wear!
