R32 Wheel Fitment

[macri32r]

Well there is always the option of machining the hub in order to get some adapter/spacers behind it.

Which would actually move wheels closer to suspension...

By machining the rim I will be able to get spacers as you you know it's hard to get 7mm adapters/spacers by machining the rim I could get at least 15 to 20 mm spacers

If you are going to all that effort why not just buy a good set of wheels that will fit in the first place?

Why not? It's never been done before. If this isn't do able I have already quoted up a set of rotiform blq's

[leighaus]

dont let a challenge stop you. will look amazing and be one of a kind if you can pull it off. ignore nay-sayers until its dead in the water

There's often (not always, I grant, and not necessarily this time) a reason why nobody's done something before...

[macri32r]

Haha fair enough mate but it won't hurt to try. If my calculations don't even out I'll give it a miss!

Would need 15mm adapters all round. (10mm would be more ideal on the rear, although I believe 15mm is the minimum.)
Going to poke a fair bit, so your height and rear camber will determine if you can pull it off or not.
Will need crazy stretch tyres (225/30/20 on front, 235/30/20 rear)
Would be awesome if you pulled it off though.

Could you please post these sort of questions here in the future:

good luck...
the above comments pretty much sum it up.
20s are often hard to pull off.
20x10.5s wont work without worked guards or lame suspension height.
wheels are 5x120, so will need adapters.

if you are asking the question and are new to the fitment game your trying something big, so id start else where

Had five years in experience as a tyre fitter I know fitment just trying to get some ideas and specs.

not exactly, but near enough. . . .




I love your proposed wheels, but the best part about them is that the rears are concave. However, you'll lose the effect if you run 4 fronts. It seems a bit pointless.

In addition, you'll have legal/engineering/insurance issues to overcome.

Those 2 examples are on 19s I believe.

Video of a test fit with 19" x5s. Personally I think its not going to look great unless your stupid low.

Best of luck though

i'm running 15mm 5x100 => 5x120 adapters at the moment with some BMW spec racing hart splits, running 18x9/18x8 with ET 2 up back and ET 5 (i think?) up front. not quite the same, but it can be done. kinda.

Thats a 19x10et32 with 2.5deg of camber and a 235/35 tyre
you may or not have more room due to camber/4mo suspension setup, and may or may not have a variation in offset due to wide track/different brakes.
from what iv noticed there is a difference in 4mo and FWD mk4s in relation to the wheel track. so most of the info/photos above are invalid as they are FWD cars...

plus your dealing with serious wheels, so at the end of the day, each car is different by enough to make or break the fitment.

Have a look through this thread, there are some 4mo setups on both big and wide wheels.
