SankysVR6 1 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 can somebody tell me if i could fit a 17"x8j BBS RSII wheel with 225/40/17 tyres, without making any modifications i.e. lowering or rolling the arches ?! and would £700 be worth it. they have come off a MK4 GTI[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 You should be ok with that, but you'll have no end of trouble if you lower the car. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 do you think they will look OK without lowering and will i have to roll the rear arches Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 They'll certainly fill the arches. Personally i prefer a lowered car. They are too wide if you lower the car though. You have to go to 205/40/17 tyres with possible arch rolling aswell. Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I reckon, you may have trouble even if you don't lower the car running 225's on it. Not all the time, but when it goes over bumps and on hard cornering! Whack some 205's or 215's on it and you'll be sorted! Link to post Share on other sites
