Alloys and seat sport brake

[rod the sod]

Hi i am just wondering what alloys (other than the cupra mk4) fit over the aps seat sport brakes! having problems!

maybe the skoda vrs 17" alloys. i want to stay with 17" alloys, 18" ones will b too big for car!

cheers

Is it that they will catch? Could just use 3mm spacers to bring the wheel away a little? This is what I currently do with mine.

thats an option! i thought that the inside of the rim has been designed to fit the brakes, but if its only a matter of small spacers happy days!

i have audi tt rims at the momment with a larger offset so you think they may fit?

Quite possibly so, as the TT's come with larger brakes setups as standard. I would just have a set of 3mm spaces on standby. There are some decent ones on Ebay that I use that fit snug on the spigot which line up nicely. Just make sure the threads of your wheel bolts will be long enough to compensate.

wicked, cheers for that mate! will have a bash at wacking them on this wkend!
