Is this wheel spec right?
« on: August 05, 2012, 09:15:57 pm »
18" 5x112 18x8j et45

Not sure if copy or original so not sure what the above means, hence the question.

They are a typical rep offset for reps. ET45

Original 18" monza's are 7.5" wide.

18 x 8 at ET45 should fit easily as long as you aren't slammed on suspension.

Great, car is standard so suspension is ok. To the untrained eye they will look just like vw oem then.

I originally had 8x18 et45 reps on mine and had no problems. They did seem to fill the arches a bit nicer than the OEM 7.5x18 I've got on now
