18's??

[CupraStoo]

well for a 5x112 you will need to run adapters

5x100 7x17 et41 205/40/17 is the Cupra sizes

 

[Ad Lav]

5x112 won't fit, well they will with 20mm adaptors so factor in another £200...

They should fit though, i'd go 205/40/17 on a 17 x 7 wheel.

225.45.17 tyres rub like fook on the front wheels also

 

[CupraStoo]

there will be a set of Cupra wheels for sale in the VERY near future

for sale section, now

 

[Aimez]

That was so funny though, unsettled my car a bit as I was going so slowly, bit like that top gear speed test with the eggs

I know the one you mean lol!

 

[Thurman]

Right - I've decided to stick with the std cupra wheels 7 x 17 with 205/40/17s. Ive contacted a guy who's selling some at a reasonable price - however they involve quite a trek to collect and tbh I can't be bothered. Has anyone purchased a set of wheels privately at distance and had to arrange carriage? If so - who would you recommend?

Log on to the parcelforce website. Easy to use and cheap too!

Just to add my 2 pennies worth, 215/35 18s dont rub and you can lower away too! Remove the plastic arch liners and 60mm+ is possible.

pics........or stfu!!!

 

[VWscooby]

STFU? As soon as I have the car back from being lowered I will post pics. Only have them at standard ride-height at the mo.

 

[CupraStoo]

so really your talking shat!

You dont know at all that at -60mm they arent gonna rub!
c0ck

 

[VWscooby]

I didnt say it hadn't been lowered just that I haven't picked it up as I work away for weeks at a time.

So really giving me insults says more about you than anything else. This is why I tend to bored of forums, keyboard warriors.

Soooooooo

where on earth have you got that info from then?

Of course it isnt gonna rub if you havent driven it!!!

 

[mixupz]

Ok Ok lets just end this one here before it goes into the scrap yard! lets just wait till the pics are posted because if VWScooby is right then Cuprastoo you may look a bit silly :s

 

[CupraStoo]

If hes right then so be it!

all im commenting on is the fact hes quoted no rubbage at -60mm, without even knowing yet!!

 

[mixupz]

True...lets just wait and see

Puzzled him - I know what it means

 

[Ad Lav]

All depends on the offset and with 215/35/18's the most likely will fit with no rubbing, 60mm isn't that much to lower, mine was 75mm+ and didn't rub on the back with 18's!

On the front however... I could turn the wheel as the arch sat on the tyres...

 

[VWscooby]

Exactly! I like the challenge of fitting silly wheels and big drops! Working out offsets and tyre sizes and juggling them around is all part of the fun! That what modifying a car should be, fun I don't want to get into an arguement.

(Oh one last point, I do talk to my mechanics and they have driven the car. So yes I guess I am going on hear-say but hey-ho).

 

[Ad Lav]

What are the wheels mate - be good to see it!

 

[VWscooby]

As I got them second-hand (They need a good repolish but no curb marks. Well except the one I put there the day i fitted them!) they have been discontinued!

They are Hijoin&Dynamic dished split rims. I hadn't heard of them before but a couple of people on the Skyline owners forums had them so I figured they couldn't be that bad!
