[rokle]

Hi everyone,
Wondering if any folks on this forum has seen or have chucked these wheels on their mk4 with the following specs too.

18 XXR 530 GOLD RIMS WHEELS 18x8.75 +35 5x100 5x114.3 CELICA WRX STi | eBay

they look like bbs ch reps, offset and pcd look okay but id also enquire about the centre bore. if they are made for a wrx the centre bore will be different iirc

Those are 18x9.75 et20 though. With a bit (or a lot) of money you can make any wheel fit. You'd need a hub ring adapter for these as the centre bore is 73.1.. Also the ones you linked obvs won't sit as flush.

Thanks for the input. So you reckon et35 will fit and clear the guard and suspension set up? I was also looking at the GTC wheels and apparently they're the same as VMR's. Seems like they don't have any in the pcd i need.
Any suggestions on wheels? Budget is about 1k.

Do you have a FWD Bora or 4motion?

depends on the height of the car to if itll work up front or not. might run into issues with the strut being too close and serious rubbing on the inside of the arch on full lock if its too low.

4motion Bora. Im sitting on oem set up atm.

stock should be fine with some 225/40s
might poke a bit then up front

I've been eyeing these wheels too but not sure if they'll clear my brakes. they should due to the concavity but you can be my guinea pig. =]

Thinking of having them since the CB is right. How were they sitting without the spacers if you have any on?
Cheers

I had the Miro STP-1s but I think now they've been superseded by the Miro Type 380 but they had the same size and fitment of the ones you linked. Not sure about the face of the Miro 368 wheels but the 380s didn't clear my brake calipers so that's why I needed 5mm on the front and 10mm on the rear. Should be similar.

The rears would have looked better without the spacers. I sold them to a friend who has a Mk4 GTI and he needed a 5mm spacer on the front but none on the rear! What a jerk..

Thanks. Have to think about this over again.

It is depend on the height of the car.

Hey Matey... I thought you had a baby on the way and were going back to stock...? Stop eyeing off those wheels...

Exactly! I'm so stupid and impulsive sometimes lol . I actually just bought a set of 17" wheels instead, a decent compromise IMO.. 18s look the biz, but ride like shiz.

EDIT: Actually I don't know if 17 will be much of an improvement in ride quality but I like to pretend it will be.
