Wanting to put some bbs wheels which are

17 x 8j et+36 & 17 x 9j et+39 using 20 mm pcd adapters
Will they fit?

Thanks Matt

You'll have quite a bit of poke

You'll have quite a bit of poke

Is it not worth doing then?

[SMG8vT]

You can get them filled and redrilled to 5x100 for a similar price as buying adapters. They'd be a near perfect fitment if you didn't need adapters.

Yea good point just need to find some where near to me that does it.

I'm not sure if anyone can help but I'm looking to get a set of stock Alphards for my new beetle but I'm worried about the poke. I need adapters for 5x100 to 5x112 but i'm not sure what size.

I'm going from 16x6.5 et 35 to 18x8.5 et 35 in the front and 18x9.5 et 40 in the rear.

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!

[Nemo's First Mate]

I'm thinking 15mm adapters all the way around should be ok?

Anyone know if Enkei RPF1s in 17*8 or 17*7 will fit with an offset of +45? I don't mind running spacers, but don't want the wheels to stick out, hate that.

Here's some wheels I ran previous to the Super RS's:

Put new tires on - I think I found the "reasonable" limit.
