Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[rodel]

i never said that volk made it. not disagreeing with you at all. the ONLY reason i bought them, was because the bent one is a 3pc. now i just have to get it fixed and have them all polished.

I see that one of the wheels have a bent face....while I'm skeptic that it can be repaired, keep us updated.

You implied that volk made a 3 piece wheels. But no worries.

I keep hearing that volk nevermade these wheels in 3pc, but here they are.

Been reading through this thread for awhile now and finally decided on wheels.
I'm on Megan EZ Streets and I'm going to go with MB Battles 18x9.5 - +15 all around with 245/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rears.
Not into rubbing or scraping, so I'm going to roll, pull and adjust height until everything fits snug and perfect!

You will stagger your tires with non-staggered wheelset?

Megan EZ streets and love them

Rolled the front and rear fenders, but i dont think i would have needed to - did it just to be save. i can still lower the car another inch easy and i believe i will still be ok.

The problem I am finding with our cars being lowered is the very long front nose. Going too low causes havoc trying to go up inclined driveways or parking lots because your bumper will basically stop the car... lol. I lowered mine just over 1" and will be raising it about 1/2" solely due to this.

Has anyone tried running 17" fronts and 18" rears? Or would that look dumb? I ask because the eibach springs I have lower the front much more than the rear.

 

[Grandavi]

My ultimate goal is to do the reverse. 17" rears to get some more sidewall. I've seen it on mkiv's but not on a mkiii. The way your suggesting should work fine. However you can also control height with sidewall ratios

I guess I could go bigger sidewall on the rear to fill the gap a bit more. It's a bit frustrating that the springs aren't an even drop...

Or (which is probably cheaper and smarter in regards to the suspension geometry) get a proper set of springs? I have no experience with eibachs to say if you have the proper setup.

If you want springs that drop lower than Eibach, take a look a H&R.

Need opinions from the wheel gods. I found some rare blitz wheels and wonder if they would fit, they are on a mk4 currently..specs-19x9 et41 & 19x10 et45. 245/35/19 front tire, 295/30/19 rear tire...thank you.

 

[Grandavi]

I would test fit to make sure you like the look of a 19". My wheels are 255 on the rear with +38 and they only rub on really good dips at high speeds (the Sidewalls get tapped). The size you show should fit but they may be just lining up to the rear quarter. Should be no problem as that is similar to the width I am planning on. Your speedo will be out a bit.

 

[gsxr141]

ok guys, here's another size question........
18x9.5 +41 front and 18x10.5 + 41 rear.
i'm pretty sure the rears are good, but not sure if the fronts will hit on the inside.

 

[Emeraldage]

Will it fit? On the rear, factory spring illumia shock.

15x8 Wheel 5.5" Backspace...

295/50r15 tire. Th at's 26.8" tall.

Will fender roll be good enough to daily that?

Haven't been able to find pictures on here or on Google after extensive search. I would like to see some shots of OEM mk3 5 spokes on a mk3. I would love to see your different combos. I have a set on the car right now with 215/55r16 and bought a set of OEM size to replace them with. The car is lowered on H&R springs and I was considering adding 1" wheel adapters to the rear and maybe 10mm to the fronts.

Please show what combos you have, different coils, springs, spacers, tires, fender rolled or not etc, but has to be the OEM mk3 5 spoke wheels from 91/92.

Thanks.

Adapters???? Why?
