After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Need help with Centre bore / Hub bore

    Gday fellow members


    I have a chance to get BBS SR rims in 17" for my Mk6 R
    Wanted to go down a size and eventually go with 245X45X17 to fill in the wheel arch
    The sellers states the Hub bore is 82mm where as the Mk6r is 57.1mm .
    My question is what am I missing or should I go elsewhere for the rims

    cheers

    I believe you will need suitable hub rings. The best option is to buy rims with the correct hub size to suit your car, but lots of wheel manufacturers will make a certain bore size and then sell hub rings to suit various other cars:

        In addition to Lucas' info above, you can also look at Ebay for hub rings. Do not get the cheap plastic ones as they deform almost instantly and create a wobble, get proper aluminum ones. Can be substantially cheaper than brand names and just as good.
