Offsets of bentleys are all wrong on the mk5 unless your running air ! apart from that looking good mate

Why is that? The offset is et41 and 9" wide. According to my research they will fit fine? I've test fitted them and they fitted!! I'm planning on running coil overs and going lower but no air.. Have you tried bentley wheels or have any evidence they won't work?  If so  it looks like there going up for sale..

I'm (assuming) that he's meaning they poke a lot, meaning if you had air the arches could sit on the rim (again, only an assumption, I'm no wheel expert)

I'm no wheel expert either but after a lot of research it's seems the general rule is they will fit, aggressive fitment on the front but still fit...I'm wondering if he has had first hand experience in the subject? If so then I will sell.them

Well after a day of driving around on the bentley wheels I can confirm they fit with no rubbing at all yet... It needs to lower now. I've dropped the car in to my local painter who is refurbing the wheels.for me.. This is a picture he sent me, the colour is a Ferrari Silverstone grey I think he said. Any thoughts on these

Thank you for your kind comments.. It's slowly getting there,still have to get a rns510 and then fit my mk6 steering wheel and heater controlls then a brushed aluminium trim around them.. Also have a walk,polybushed lower arms,vibratechnic engine mounts all to fit. But all in good time. I still haven't fitted my Ttrs brakes..

Hey mate ! sorry for the late response ! i didn't mean they wouldn't fit , i just meant the offsets look all wrong because they poke to much so you cant go low enough on them without battering your arches , and without lowering it loads they don't look right ! so air is generally the only way if running bentleys

However if fitment doesn't bother you to much then don't worry about it ! love the colour you've chose btw


Golf mk5 1.4 Fsi , Bettle 2.0 8v , Audi a3 2.0tdi , Lupo Gti , Jetta mk5 2.0 tdi , Golf mk6 1.4tsi , Jetta mk6 2.0tdi dsg . Golf estate sport wagon and now ! and orange GTI
Dubbin it since 2006

I'm not really into all that air suspension and stance... I'm 37 with 2 kids the wheels were that cheap I had to buy them. I like them but I'm thinking of getting them machined 5mm to help with the fitment...I've had 4 people in the car last night and no rubbing but it needs to go lower...Il more than likely sell them and make some money
