« on: January 28, 2010, 05:39:01 pm »
Hi, please can anyone tell me if the above offset replica wheels in 8x18 rs6s will go on my mk5? Some people have said no and some yes???

Not really looking to lower the car much (is the gf's daily) so maybe 25-30mm max!  :wink: Would prefer to go genuine ideally but shes keeps banging on that she likes old style rs4s  :ashamed: ?

Its about 20 mil ish further than a monza. so if he doesn't lower the car to much it will be fine in most situations. Would get rubbing for sure on compression on high speed bends.  :happy2:
