Will these wheels fit?

Postby DOS-FTO » Fri Nov 30, 2012 7:34 pm

Hi lads just a few questions to ask about wheels,

Im thinking of buying a set of alloys which are 18 inch (215/40/18). Just wondering should these fit the car ok or would they be too big? They are 5x114. Would i be able get full lock with out them hitting or scratching or anything?

Heres a link to them

They don't state the width of the wheel on the Ad - the 215 tyre looks very stretched so I would say its at least an 8 or 8.5 inch width rim which will be tight on an FTO.

They also don't state the offset - this will determine how the wheel sits in the arch and will be a major factor in terms of where or if it will rub (on wheel arch or liner).

They also don't state the wheel bore - your FTO requires 67.1 but its likely you will be able to get spiggot rings to fit (these are cheap).

So maybe ask the seller to take a look at the inside rim for dimensions on offset and rim width as well as wheel bore if possible.
