Charleston Wheels.......

[MattPoss]

I'm looking at buying some Charleston wheels but I wanted to confirm first whether they would clear the S3 brake setup on the front.

Anyone shed any light?!

Cheers
Matt

I'm not really the ideal person to answer this Matt, but I've got a loose formula that may help;

The 17" Monza's fit over the R32 front + rear setup, so, how much bigger than the R32 setup is the S3 brake setup or what are the size differences?
From that, you should be able to work it out but I'd hazard a loose guess that they'll be okay?...

I've seen on R32OC in the past 2 lads with different BK's and both ran Charleston wheels. Whether the BK's were bigger or not, I can't really remember but their .:R's were quite seriously engine modded.

Hopefully someone more experienced will give you a more accurate answer however.

I posted over on mk4s.... im 98% sure they will fit! At worse you might need to get a few mm spacer! But as said above... Monza 17" work so i dont see why Charlstone wont work!
