craggsy 91 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Id go with 16s coz with 25mm adaptors they will be ET 12 and will sit great in the arches Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 In a word NO....the centre part of the rim, ie the spokes dictate the diameter of the rim, you cant just add a larger outer rim as it will fall straight over it!!! and the back of the rim will still be 15 inch!!!! only way to get 16 or 17`s is get an original set of RM/S or RS001`s that were made for the VW from factory,(like mine ) or get some BMW rims and buy adaptors only trouble is with BMW ones is that the offsets are usually to big to start with and the adaptors push them out too far and muller the arch, and cause other untold probs with wheel bearings and tracking, check out these guys on ebay zucki79 or wolter-lat, they always have BBS rims and can get the ones you want usually if they havent, it aint cheap but then you get what you pay for and you know they will fit and be right Link to post Share on other sites
