What do I need to get these to fit..Cheers


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have a set of genuine vw estoril alloys that I want to put on my 97 Highline but they are a different offset size and the fronts won't turn as they are hitting the caliper.

The new alloys are 6J 15" ET35 with 205/50/15 tyres

I am not sure what offset the original highline alloys are but can anybody advise on what I need to get these to fit safely

cheers all

Arent Estorils from the Mk2 or am i being really stupid again

wheel nerd again !!! yeah but right again !! originally were 4x100 et35 - so I presume you are running adaptors ?

They have the same stud pattern for the MK3 highline and fit ok that way but I think its just the offset thats different so will spacers do the job?

as Craig says bung up a pic mate as the orignal ones were defo for a mk2 and therefore not the right stud pattern - if you post it we can check what you need to get them to fit :) :)

5mm spacers should be fine....but dont forget longer bolts

Simply put craggsy thanks.

Is that all i will need

I was thinking 10mm.

If I use a spacer then will the wheel not be centarlised in the hub ie stick out further than the hub.

12mm hubcentric are smallest I can find. 10mm will just be normal flat spacers.

Look on here' date=' ive bought from these before
