Loverorh8er Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Hi im currently running 8J ET25 (16”) on the rear of my lupo gti on a 205/40/16 with no problems (yet) So I’m wondering if I was to go for a 9J ET20 (16”) 215/35/16 which would be 7.7mm closer to the suspension and stick out 17.7mm more than my current wheels would It touch the suspension I know it’s only 7.7mm closer but I have it pretty tight as it is so I’m worried it will rub ? any help would be much appreciated (Both setups are almost exactly the same height) (I don’t have camber shims) Link to the wheels https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3SDM-0-05-4x100-16-X-8J-ET25-WHITE-SET-OF-4-WHEELS-POLO-LUPO-ASTRA-CORSA/172127515795?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D81df90ffbc604af3890ba4bf421189c3%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D172127515795%26itm%3D172127515795&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7583e87e-030c-11e8-9585-74dbd1809629%7Cparentrq%3A358388461610a688acfc609bffe2e415%7Ciid%3A1 thanks ?

mattarosa Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Measure your current gap? Then add 7.7mm. I imagine roll your arches and then buy more wheel bearings to add to your collection as you'll be eating through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Why did vdub pick rollerskate bearings for our front hubs? Everyone I know who has stock or modded wheels has to replace them with monotonous regularity. Mk2 golf hub carriers are almost the same size, but they have much bigger bearings in, that last about 120k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
