Wheel ET Advice
« on: March 22, 2009, 07:34:03 pm »
Just a quick question I`m sure someone will know the answer.
Spotted  set of wheels I fancy for my GTI.
Trouble is the ET is 37.
The PCD is ok at 112.
The wheels were originally designed for a Passat
Will the wheels fit without any mods ?
The car is not lowered in any way.

By my calculations these will stick out just over 20  mil further than a monza II so they would be just about ok with no drop. They would certainly fill the arches.  :smiley:
