wheel fitment nightmare :S
« on: May 01, 2015, 09:39:01 pm »
hi guys ive brought a mkv golf gti and im looking at getting some new wheels 18" Cades Tyrus are what i want there 18" x 8.0" et45 on the front and 18" x 9.0" et45 on the rear (obviously 5x112) now im wondering if they'll be on straight on or if il need spacers and if they'll be ok when i lower it by around 20-30mm (on springs for now). tyre specs say 215/40R18 on the front and 225/40R18 on the rear do they need to be different ? im so confused right now :/

 

Thanks guys :D

 

p.s i love my dsg gearbox ;)
