Will 17" alloys fit???

[turbofatty]

I've just bought my wife an Arosa (W plate) 1.0S but have a set of 4, 17" multispoke Golf GTi alloys in my garage that i'm storing for my bruv in law.

The all have brand new tyres on them, i was just wondering if they would fit on the Arosa, can't be arsed checking as its too cold! today!!

He took them off his Audi A4

Any advice would be greatly received

Depends what the offset is m8, but there should fit no bother but there will make the car feal quite a bit slower, persanaly i don't think arosa's or lupo's look right with 17s, 16s max for me. but depends what you like there should fit no probs tho

They definately wont fit 'no bother'!

Most 15" will fit easily, 16" will usually fit but may need work, 17" will require arch work to allow them to fit. Obviously all depends on width, offset and tyre sizes too.
Arosaracer has 17" on his Arosa so could probably fill you in on what work it needs.

Aye they will fit but, you will have to roll the arches. Like Nic says its alot of hassle.

dont do it unless your rolling the arches and thats all 4,

Chees for the info, really helpful guys!!

I don't think i'll bother even trying then, she can just keep the standard car.

I was only going to try them on coz i had them doing nowt in my garage.

Maybe something to invest in, in the future.........
