Ramirez Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 U'll need an ET of 25 as anything less will sit proud of the arches. But even then your in iffy treatory as standerd the ET is `37-43`. Also dont know if youve tryed them but worth a look... www.styledynamix.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 phonin them up today to c what they can offer price wise. these wheels r rather expensive for a 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Im running 14x8 et25 : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 had 5 in the back and bottomed out suspension with no rub. tho caliper clearance is minimal tho im running brocks, steffans shouldnt be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 use ET 25 front and 20 rear if you don't want them to stick out too much, remember to get the rear ones with about 5mm less ET since the rear wheels go in a bit if that makes sense. The thing is if you get the rears with 5mm or 10mm less offset they will look very well (stick out like the front ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is if you get the rears with 5mm or 10mm less offset they will look very well (stick out like the front ones)Im running 25 all round on 8"s the rears stick out more than the front by a few mm's Id say et20 u'd be lookin at arch work if slamming. As at the mo my tyres are stretched but still go under arch without rub another 5 to 10mm and itd hit the arch when on its bumpstops. wud show pics but cant put em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 im have 14x8's, with 195/45 rubbers, iv got et26 on the front, which is perfect with no rubbing, and et15 on the back, minor arch rolling was required but they are fine and dont stick out too much, they just look right.

scoobydoo Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 small problem steffan don't do et25 they only do 20 15 and 10. shud i still go for it et 20 all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 This is on the assumption that youve got a non GTI:The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 8mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 42mmThis is working on an 8x14" ET 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'd say 20 front 15 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
