DAZVR6 0 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Don't know why but i am drawn to putting some steels on my vr, anyone know where i should be looking and which ones as obviously they need to fit over the calipers...would mk4 15"stellies be ok or will they need to be 16"s ?

bulldog 2 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Standard wheels on a VR6 are 15" and they fit over the calipars. Link to post Share on other sites
philbatesvr6 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i had mk4 steelies on mine and they cleared the calipers nicely look poo mind lol Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 16" beetle steels....they look kinda cool but kinda rubbish at the same time!! :-p if yours is an early vr with 280mm brakes they will probably rub on the caliper carriers (mine did).. just requires a slight "tickling" with a grinder to create enough room....
