gucciwah Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) right i was just wondering...to make your wheels poke out for a more, as some would say.. "euro" lookis it only wide wheels like 8-10j or can you still make your wheels poke with 6j wheels and just add spacers??

.Phase Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 imo they look better with wider wheels, but you can do it with any wheel any spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 My GTI now has poke with spacers on standard rims, looks like a Go kart at the front. (25mm on the front of a GTI is too much!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafcross Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yes. Half inch spacers will mean you will need about 13mm longer bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Didn't think they were 55's?You need longer bolts or search google for 4x100 hubcentric spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Your not going to get much of a stretch on 6j wheels either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Personally I wouldn't even bother trying to get some 6J rims to poke out. Will just look stupid from behind cause the wheels will be really narrow and pushed out. If you want poke get some wide wheels, if you don't stick with the narrow ones but don't do something thats half arsed imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
