Will these fit?
« on: May 14, 2011, 09:15:51 am »
Hey guys,

Been looking at getting a new set of rims/tyres for my GT Sport.  Currently have some 18" Zolders on there, but they are now looking past their past thanks to a meeting with a kerb.  Have been looking at a set of 19"s, and I'm just wondering will they fit without any rubbing issues, etc.  Specs for the new wheels are:

19" x 8"
Offset ET45
PCD 5 x 112
Centre Bore 57.1mm

Will be looking to wrap them in 235-35-19 rubber most likely.  Car isn't lowered, though I now it runs a bit lower due the the factory fit suspension set up anyway. 

So, will they rub, or will they look as awesome as they do in my head?

as long as it's not lowered more than that from factory i see now problem in it, maybe you need to do the screwmod but other than that you should be fine  :happy2:

these will fit with no problem even if you decide to run lowering springs at some point, standard height should be no problem at all.

i ran 19 x 8.5 VW Hellios wheels and they were fine.

You should be fine without modifying the arch itself, just do the arch screw delete mod and you will be fine :happy2:
