franchise 1 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Quick one guys.i'm looking to get some cool 6j steelies (15x6) I've seen and was wondering whether anyone is running wheels like this on spacers. If so, how is the drive and do we think a 195/45 tyre would do the job. I wanna space them out quite a bit for a hard stance but not sure how they'll look with them only being thin, 30mm spacers about right? Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 just an educated guess....but if you run a 30 mm spacer on steel rims 15" you are gonna put a lot of stress on your wheel bearings if you space too wide, you will need longer wheel bolts than standard too, i think mercedes ones are the same thread as vw but a bit longer, a 205 is the best width tyre on a vr for proper traction, i know some people run 195`s as they are cheaper.

franchise 1 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Cheers chief, was thinking the same thing myself about spacers, not a huge fan of spacers and adaptors but sometimes they're needed. Would a 205 tyre on a 6j rim not be a bit too wide? Don't want too much overspill. To be honest, I think I might give this idea a miss as I love steelies, but fat ones, which means getting into the whole banding/re-rimming issues which is more trouble than it is worth.
