VR6Steve 0 Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Won a set of these wheels on E-bay today for the princely sum of £225! A couple need refurbishing, but I thought they were cheap enough not to worry about.Now the main query is what size tyres should I put on the rims for use on my Mk3?I know they fit, but does anyone know the ET? Are spacers required?I confess wheel sizes/dimensions and offsets are complete mysteries to me! :? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
jamieVR6 0 Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I think they are a direct replacement, with the correct offset & everything. I'd go for 215/45 personally. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted May 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I'd agree with you Gusto, all the Mk3's I saw today @ Inters on these wheels were running 205's.I'm only running about a 30mm drop, so I shouldn't have any arch rubbing issues should I?Eat This : running the factory BBS wheels and at the moment am planning to keep them as my winter wheels, sorry.

VR6Steve 0 Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Well impressed, picked the wheels up from the refurbishers today (Pristine) and they look stunning. All I need now is some rubber (any suggestions welcome), oh and the car to put them on! Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 I rate Toyo's very highly mate, have always had them on my VR the last few times after having a set of Pirellis and Yoko's these seem very good. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted May 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Yeah, i had thought about Toyos as they do seen quite reasonably priced. Also quite fancy a set of BFGoodrich's too as i have been very happy with the 2 i have on the front of my car at the mo. Link to post Share on other sites
