18x10 et38 Oz Futura 5x112
« on: May 22, 2013, 04:07:48 pm »
Hi

Anyone ever fitted something this wide to a mk5 GTI 18x10 et38 Oz Futura 5x112
The fronts are fine as there 8.5" but I'm worried about the rears.

I think they would be close but i recon they would fit... what are they on the back 9? 9.5 ?

205 or 215  40's or 35's  would probably help

Has that had much arch work? Looks like it would work with 225s, just that the arch would sit on the tyre instead of the rim when dumped?

Honestly unless you have air and are prepared to ruin your arches you won't get 10s working.

You can't add enough camber to properly tuck the rear because the inside of the wheel/tyre will hit the strut.
And because of the width they will poke massively.

Further to that Falken only permit a 225/40 on a 9.5, I think on a 10 the smallest tyre you can use is a 235 which makes it pretty illegal in terms of, if you DID get pulled up on it..

In a word, no.

No such thing as "illegal" stretch (although you might attract unwanted attention from the boys in blue). You can have illegal amounts of rim poke (think it's 25 or 30mm outside of the arch, while the tyre tread itself has to be within the arch.

Whilst it isn't illegal, you'd better be sending a picture of it to the insurance company to see if they're happy about it - because I know of at least 3 cases of people getting refused payouts following tyre failures and accidents.

Probably best for the showground only.

Thanks for all the advice, just going to try and mix and match and get a 8.5" rear which will be flush. Just going to cost a little more.

Thanks for the link, they look good. Think its a little to much poke for me though. I wonder how much that sort of poke would effect the handling. Just a thought as I love to drive the car, anyone know what effect it would have?
