they also have the same wheel design at +35 but centre bore is 1mm too small.... i can get this machined to suit Bora so that shouldn't be an issue.
I'm running Bilstein B6 struts with lowered coils.... not coil overs .... so the clearance issue is likely to be what ? obviously the +35 is further away than the +38 but this is on a 9" rim so I'm overall worse off.... Correct ??
these are destined for a Bora 4motion ....
9et35 will be even worse on lowering springs. I imagine it'll hit the strut and poke.
The 8.5 et38 may clear the front struts if its just ~30mm lowering springs
Stock was 17x7et38, so anything on that would be fine.
Check out pics of my abt v1s, they are 17x7.5 et30 with 215/45s.
If you did 30mm all round would be similar to that.
25mm front and 30mm rear with 225/45 all round should be fine
Thought ide post this just in case it helps anyone.
Currently I am. Running 18"x9"+38 and I have to run a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the stock strut. And I barely clear them. Literally. Have a fingernail between the wheel and strut. But no rubbing at all. Has done some very hard mountain runs. Only thing I chewed out where the front of the splash guards. And even that was very minor. But if I where going to buy another set of wheels. Ide go half an inch thinner and a bit less off set to be safe.
On the oettinger site they list 18 x 8.5 35et as the specs for their 5 spoke rim to suit Bora .... This would also confirm Tims suggested size as a no hassle fitment .... So the search continues !!!
Iv done two to show the difference between heights and how much difference it can make even over a 2.5-3" drop
excuse the photos. measurements were taken on level ground, not enough room to take pictures there.

Fenders Rolled: Front only
Fenders Pulled: No
Camber: Front 1deg, but due to being pulled from the bottom it makes offsets more aggressive (approx the same as running a 10mm spacer/ 1deg extra in rear

as you can see front cambers out, but sucks in the lower it goes
Rear stays about the same due to the fixed beam, it just rolls forward into the guards

yeah will fit fine on springs or coils with a ~30-50mm drop. lower then that and will start hitting coils and inside of the tyre will hit the arch most likely
Thanks for the photos Dylan !!! Love your work !!
Are you running adjustable control arms on the back to correct camber/toe in changes due to ride height drop ??

nar control arms are in the front.
I got them to add a touch of camber and to give more clearance (front control arms were hitting the subframe and restricting how low i could go)
rear is a fixed beam in the fwd cars so cant do much other then shimming on drop plates

Does anyone here run Genuine aristos on Their golf and run spacers? Looking for some reference to order some. been told either 8/15 for almost flush and 10/20 for flush. is this correct?
