Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    hey peoples,

    will holden 2008 commodore SS rims fit a 2009 VW TRansporter? The STud Patterms are the same and the offsets are off by 7mm... will this make a huge difference when fitting?

      Hey all.. hope this is the right spot to put this is..

      Ive got a set of BBS Style 5's (off a bmw 5 series) the size is 17x8 and 17x9 et20(i think)

      With a 20mm adapter, will this fit my VW MK4 golf fine? or would it need work?

      cheers

        My understanding is: Add adapters, You lose et, so you'd end up at 0 offset.

        The style 5's wouldn't work unless it was an E36 version as they had a higher offset usually around the high 30's. 5 Series have lower offset.

            Late reply, but way to aggressive for a mk4, those specs before adding adpater width would be great though!

                What are the specs on said wheels? I believe all porshce wheels are 5x130 pcd, and arnt the R's 5x112? in which case no, they wont fit
                BUT Porshce are generally adapter friendly though, so you could try that keeping in mind adapters are illegal of coarse.

                      I had those specs on my bora, was ok until i lowered it on coilovers. i was JUST rubbing on the strut. 5mm spacers fixed it, but even a 3mm would have been ok id imagine. maybe go for something like 8" wide with et35

                      • Thanks Dylan, i do want to try and run without spacers if i can. i will be running coilovers so ET35 looks like the ones.

                          if possible, get your coilovers first... And see how low you want to go.

                            Yes i can confirm that the R is 5 x 112. I've been searching for some wheels for my R for some time now and have still been wondering what offsets to go for. Seriously thinking about BBS CH-Rs in 19s and matt black with s/steel lips.
