18" wheels Audi (pescara version)
« on: February 09, 2013, 09:05:22 am »
In my quest to get some 18" wheels and tyres I have purchased, collected but not fitted these yet. ZCW Angel wheels 18x7.5 and ET of 38 and 215/35/18 cooper tyres with 5-6mm tread. The wheels also came with all wheel bolts, 15mm spacers and spigot rings for VW.

My question is will these wheels fit to my car with the spacers on the front or the rear?
Or should i just ditch the spacers and bolt the wheels straight on.
If all else fails i have a set of 18" wheels to sell as i will probably keep the tyres.





Thanks for any advice.

ET38 is already low and will probably rub, maybe not with 215 tyres... 15mm spacers will make it ET23 so will most definitely rub...

This might work, but I don't think it would look right with any sort of gap. Try it on one corner, maybe?

Thanks DOM & ROH

Stopped off a Halfords to get more short bolts and fitted the wheels. A step in the right direction 18"
I now have 2x15mm spacers for sale (inc bolts if needed)

I may have found a set of Audi (pescara version) The offset is 54 and not sure of these will go straight on my Jetta without spacers?
Some sites state the ET goes from 38-50.

Advice always gratefully received.

Yeah they should fit fine fella without the spacers. I have them fitted to my golf at the moment with no rubbing but it is standard ride height.
