Pete,

The 8" rim with a 45 offset will stick out 12.5mm further than stock MonzaII's. these will be fine on your car unless you are substanially lowered.

It will not affect your rolling circumference at all, so the speedo is unaffected.

Cheers Hurdy  :happy2:

Didn't come with locking wheel nuts or center caps, so that's a call for tomorrow  :stupid: :confused:

As I don't have the bolts supplied thus can't compare, can I use my OEM Monza nuts anyway? I'll only do this if it's 100% safe to.

The easiest way to check is simply to take off one of the stock wheels and push the bolt through one of the holes and measure how much thread comes through. Then do the same with the new wheel. If the difference is zero then you are okay. If there are more threads sticking through on the new wheels, you are okay. If there is less bolt sticking out on the new wheel, then you'll need new bolts that are longer. :smiley:

Simple enough equation  :happy2:

Luckily have a friend who works at Kwik-Fit so that should be easier than not.
Thanks fella  :drinking:

Hurdy,

Just on that note, the wheels didn't come with bolts/locking nuts and I'll need to purchase my own as I've a provisional buyer for the 17 Monza's.

Where can I purchase some locking wheel nuts that will definitely fit these reps perfectly?
Would OEM locking wheel nuts from VAG be spot on?

Cheers.

Does 12.5mm definitely not look like they're sitting out too much?
