Thread: Wheels ( mk4 only )

  1. 11-13-2008 10:49 PM #36
    this is an awesome thread, i dont know why but i have such a hard time understanding offsets and tire sizing.

    this will surely help in the pring when i pick up some nicer wheels.

    Here are some more of my car that i've had over the last couple of months.

    Fender work: Rolled front fenders, slightly pulled rears 3-5mm.
    Brand: MB Siegens Alphards
    Wheel size: 18x8.5 Frotn, and 18x9.5 rear
    Offset Front and rear: et15 front, and et20 rear, after 20mm adapters.
    Tire size: 215/35/18 front, adn 215/40/18 rear Falken 912s

    Picture:

    Brand: MB 22-spoke (idk the actual name)
    Wheel size: 19x8.5 front, and 19x9.5 rear.
    Offset Front and rear: et23 all around, w/20mm adapters
    Tire size: 325/35/19 Fuzion ZR1. (not right for mk4s, they need 215/35 front, and 225/35 rear)

    Picture:

    Brand: BBS RS's 178s
    Wheel size: 17x9.5 front and rear
    Offset Front and rear: et21 front w/ 35mm adapters, and et3 rear w/ 52mm adapters. (not right size adapters in rear, they need 35s like the fornt)
    Tire size:215/45/17 Falken 452s all around

    Santi, your car changes wheels more than anyone I've ever known.

    I am surely liking the 22 spoke benz wheel setup, first time I've seen that setup here. Those are on, I believe the S600 if I'm not mistaken.

    Props again man.

    not to intrude this thread;

    i never liked mk4's. this thread alone made me do a 180 on my opinion.
