As above. Looking to buy some new wheels
Fronts are, 17" 8j et 42
Rears are, 17" 9j et 42
Will these fit mk5 golf?
Thanks
imo 17" are too small, 18" should be standard to purchase as upgrade but each to their own i guess?
IMHO even 18" looks a little small, I'm looking to get a similar size but in 19" but after looking at loads of wheels i'm thinking of going 19" 8j et 45 on the front and 19" 9j et 45 on the rear (or maybe even 19" 8.5j et 45 - if a wheel exists?)
You could also go for a stretched rear tyre to maybe minimise the rubbing? - I could of course be wrong on that so if i am someone please correct me
