The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

Anyone running 19x8.5 +45 and 245/35r19 on their 7.5s? Most aftermarket rims seem to be +45 and 8.5" wide (versus +50 and 8" standard)...Wondering if the extra 12mm offset will cause an issue at standard ride height.

18*8 235/40 Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres.

Had dreaded vibration issue and ended up being the mating surface for the hubrings on two of the wheels had some residue on them. Scraped and cleaned, replaced the hub rings just because and no more vibration.

Looks good Guto - its a GTI wagon that VW should have made but never did.

Thanks.

I totally agree with you! The full GTI interior looks great and since I completed it I started to think if something happens to the engine or gearbox I may start an even bigger project. I'm thinking of buying a wrecked GTI (just need the front end in a good condition) and move the powertrain (and other bits if needed) to the wagon to make it full GTI. I already have a friend that when I mentioned to he agreed straight away to help!

I saw something similar done in golfmk7 website and it made me want to do it even more. It would be awesome if it materialises.

Let's see what the future holds...

Another Wagon Wednesday.

Here's some updated pictures outside and with the car cleaned!





Again, still a project in progress...

Dude, how did this all happen with the wagon and the bumper?! I want to do the exact same!

I have the headlights available if you interested.

Recently got a 2014 mk7 Golf R. Stock springs. Looking for some new rims.

Anyone know if 18x8.5 + 34 rims will cause issues? Which size tyres should I get with them?

[malR]

Finally fitted and I needed to do the front screw mod ,my car is @ 30mm lower .Ended up getting Bridgestone Sport 245/40r18 tyres.
Cheers

I assumed your specs because you did not specify. Most people go for a 19x8.5 on the Mk7 GTI and R with a 235/35/19 tyre.

So what are you looking for, a 225/40/18?

I only put the wheel spec's up with the wheel pic , tyres 245/40r18 I've had enough of the 235/35r19 .

A 235/35r19 don't fit on 18x8.5 wheel . One thing I've learnt over the last 2 years don't trust whats listed on website and go straight to the source .

Both are showing on the Jax Tyres website, saying stock available. Assuming you are running the common tyre size for Mk7 R of 235/35/19. The Bridgestones are $1320 for 4, and the Goodyear's are $1580 for 4.

Thanks
The Eagle F1 Supersport isn't even listed anymore in OZ , the Bridgstone are $1K fitted , there's 2 sets in OZ .

They look nice mate. I think the stock issue with the PS4S is the fact that Michelin has just released the PS5 recently. You might want to consider another brand tyre at a similar quality/performance level (Continental Sport Contact 6, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport, Bridgestone Potenza Sport etc) if you want to get the wheels fitted up soon.
