biggee30 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hi allI 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 tyresI am not sure what offset the original highline alloys are but can anybody advise on what I need to get these to fit safelycheers allGraham Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Try and get hubcentric ones that sit on your hub and have the lip to sit wheel on Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 12mm hubcentric are smallest I can find. 10mm will just be normal flat spacers.Look on here, ive bought from these beforehttp://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/category_results.mhtml?category=hrwheelspacers;car=vwgolf3;manufacturer=hrwheels;sub_category=1Thats the page with H&R stuff.
