Widest front/back wheels to fit ED30?

[SL03 JOE]

Hi, I'm looking at getting some new wheels after Xmas and I was just wondering what size the front wheels could be in width?

Ill be going for 18" but I'm not sure wether to go 8/8.5/9/9.5


Anyone got any idea and what ET you'd need? Ideally don't want to smash or do arch work. But I'm looking to get as much rubber on the road as I possibly can :)


Thanks Joe.

I think the max on the fronts is 8.5 and rears are 9.5s without any arch rolling. Lowering should help as it tucks them in. I have 18x8 on front and 18x9 rears with no problems with lowering springs

Cheers mate, I like the SNAs but there only 9J wide :(

I have 8.5j on on the front and 9.5j on the back. Back has 30mm spacers on. Also running some very subtle tyre stretch. Offset is 30 (I think).

I can post pictures if you want to see the real thing. It does look quite flush and I'm running 18" wheels.

Yeah if you could please mate that'd be great!


Think if fronts were rolled I'd get 9J on front ? Lol

On the front i'm pretty much on the edge - looks very flush so if you want to go for 9J, rolling is probably going to be the best bet! As you can see below, on the back my golfs wide as! Sweet nonetheless. Could be dropped at the back at bit more to better the stance (which will also help you get the wide look).

Well ATM I have some genuine mint black monzas with all new perrli tyres. But think I may sell the monzas and get some TDs if interested in them. But if keep tyres I think.


I used to see you alot around town, I used to have a blue mkiv r32 supercharged with black wheels at the time

Small world. I think I do remember seeing you and think nice but yeh not around town as often but still around! I also had a mk4 r32 at stage 2 in black a while back. What price you selling the monzas? If vw don't fix my golf I may not need winter wheels but hopefully they will!

[SL03 JOE]

Oh cool, I did remember seeing a black when I had my old MKV.

I'm not sure mate ill have to let you know, off give us an offer!

Which VW you take it to? If colchester or Chelmsford your a brave man!! Lol
Every time they touched mine they f*cked it up worse!!


Joe

[jonnym]

Haha neither! Its at vw hq atm as the dealer in st albans I went to couldn't find anything wrong, although they broke it in the first place! There most certainly is though!

My offer definately would be enough as haven't got much cash lying around but we'll see.

I take it you want that wide stance on your Ed30....which when done properly looks sweet as?

Oh that's good then, what did they do?


Well I'm look for wide stance and grip. Being stage I already and it's an animal!
Will be going stage II very soon! Intercooler came this morning so all is well and hopefully tbe later next week.

Tbh I'm stuck between stance and performance but I love both lol!
