v3rmin Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 just tying justmatz for stainless bolts, any more help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 7.5" might be pushing it slightly. You may be ok. We tried a set of 8" on a GTi the other week and it had mild scrubbing on all four corners. 1/2" might make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3rmin Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I will be running 195 so i don't think the tyres will scrub too bad but any idea if 7.5 will protrude from the front arches much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) 8s do quite a bit. so 7.5 will probalby just about stick out, no to much thoughand we have 195 on the 8s Edited February 14, 2008 by Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3rmin Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 do you have any shots of the 8" sticking out? Can you guess how much the 8's stuck out by? Im hoping tyre wall might just finish before the arch does and may reduce any rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v3rmin Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Hi mate,Emailed Kirsten and she said they don't do them. Do team hoffman understand english? (also are there rims radinox as well as their bolts?) Edited February 15, 2008 by v3rmin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) They arn't radinox unless theyre from Schmidt, but i dont know how much better they are than stainless.Radinox ones are hardend around the rims, the rims are folded and done in a special way apparently, all the jargon is on the Schmidt website. Id stick with Radinox ones myself just to be safe as they are not a whole lot more.Never bought from hoffman so couldnt say, but english language is pretty much the norm in Germany.
