Baz 421 Posted May 25, 2007 Have wondered myself in the past, but put off by the fact they're et29, and would need around a 10mm spacer for them to fit correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5150maxie 0 Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) if i need spacers do think longer wheel bolts would be needed as well? Edited May 25, 2007 by 5150maxie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huckleberry 0 Posted May 25, 2007 You want to use bolt-on spacers and not the kind which need longer wheel bolts. The spacers bolt onto the car and the wheels bolt onto the spacers with regular wheel bolts. I believe you'd only NEED them on the back, but then on turn-in the wheel might rub onto something.

Baz 421 Posted May 25, 2007 Yup they rub on the front but do fit, as when i tried 206 Gti (15") wheels which are the same offset. That was on a 1.6 though, a 1.9 would be even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted May 29, 2007 You want to use bolt-on spacers and not the kind which need longer wheel bolts.The spacers bolt onto the car and the wheels bolt onto the spacers with regular wheel bolts. actually, you want it the other way round... otherwise your life may depend on a quality of the spacer! edit: that's unless you need very wide spacers (30+ mm) as then you've got no choice .

cybernck 402 1 Cars Posted May 29, 2007 a friend has put a set on last week - he didn't have to use spacers for the front ones, as his 205 GTI is a 1.6 and has a little bit wider front track, while for the rear wheels he used the old front discs' faces (machined the rest off) which spaced the wheels 7mm out and it doesn't rub now (he used longer wheelbolts ofcourse). i'll have to take some pics with all 4 wheels on and the car washed - looks pretty good . hope this helps.
