VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I've got my BBS et55 wheels that I want to take down to about ET 35 ? (does that sound ok?I've been waiting since fucking APRIL for some arrive from Gwent VW and im getting pissed off, and I will need to get my arches rolled to fit when the wheels in situ. Does anyone know where the best place to buy these from?5 Stud PCD 100 wheels - I'd like bolt on adaptors as opposed to standard spacers and longer lugs.Thanks.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 pete, apparently et 35 is fine on the vr6. Link to post Share on other sites
mark@vagworx 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Try A16VKR on E38. He'll get you some at a fairly good price too. Prompt delivery aswell.His name's John. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 no offence to the guy, but I'd be after some approved adaptors, given it will be swinging it's way around the ring this time next year Will ET35 push the wheels into my arches?Pete Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 et35 wont but if you put any adaptors on like me, you'll have arch problems. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 can you illaberate please? How will ET35 look on a car then? Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 i thought et 35 was standard ofset for most vw`s? if you have et 55 wheel then the outer part of the wheel will be closer to the inner wing (if that makes sense?) if you bolted it on right now, if you put a 20 mm spacer on your hub then that should bring the et down making it 35 and giving correct clearance on calipers etc, thats how i understand et ofset anyway.

MSV83 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 u might need a 20 or 25mm adaptor but depends on the wheels Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 2 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 As they are standard width then you should easily get away with 20-25mm adaptors. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 should get adaptors next week Link to post Share on other sites
