Ch0yc3 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Would the OE Mk4 bbs split rims fit on a vr6 without the need for spacers? Also, would they fit with the tyres fitted for the mark 4?Stud Pattern: 5100Rim Size: 6.5Jx16"Offset: ET42Tyre Size Supplied: 205/55/16 Link to post Share on other sites
mannie 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 it will fit but the tyre profile maybe too tall to clear the shock bottom spring plates . Link to post Share on other sites
dwa1974 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 you might find without spacers at the rear that your hub bolt covers protrude through the wheel not allowing you to put a centre cap on your wheel. Link to post Share on other sites
Ch0yc3 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Actually, I think the tyres on them have an aspect ratio of 50 - would that make much defference regarding clearance issues?How much would decent spacers cost? Would they only be necessary for the rears? Link to post Share on other sites
dwa1974 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 is your car lowered? if so 45 or 40 would be better imoI had wheels with the same et as yours and the front were fine, i used 5mm spacers on the rearspacers were about £12 for a pair Link to post Share on other sites
Ch0yc3 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 No it's not lowered yet (aiming to get H&R cup kit in the next few months). Someone I know has these alloys for sale for quite cheap, and I need to replace my front two tyres (on 15" alloys). I thought I could use these BBSs with the existing tyres for a month, then get new tyres for them all round next month. Just wondered whether they would work for a couple of weeks with no issues.

kicklikeamule 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I've got those Mk4 OE "Anniversary-look" BBS splits on my standard VR6. Mine don't rub but only after I put 205/45/16's on. Didn't need spacers or anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
