Guest blueballification Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi all, I'm looking for some new rims and tires for my mk4 cabby. The ones on it now are scraps, so I've been searching for awhile and found some new rims (17"x 7"). Would these fit whithin the arch if I put 205/40-17 on them? Asking because of some strict "has to be within the arch" rules here in Norway. Ps, I have the xr3i/RS bodykit that go on the arches making them some mm wider.

gingergman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 hello, yes 17x7 will fit with those tyres and not stick out past the arches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueballification Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Do you also happen to know how much I can lower it with those wheels on whithout rubbing and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 30-40mm max without arch mods, 30 is your best bet for looks and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 you may get a tad of rubbing on full lock, but with 17s this will prob always be a problem. do you know the offset of the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueballification Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 No, I don't. But I might just go with some 16s instead. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) the whiskey has made me forget the offset Edited September 10, 2012 by gingergman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueballification Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Found the offset for my parts car's wheels, which exactly aligns with the arch; ET33. So I guess I can't have any less than 33 then? Not sure if I'll buy any new alloys any time soon though, maybe next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
