Postby shadowhearth » Tue, 07 Aug 2012 1:20 +0000

hey lads. i am need alloys and tyres for my 5 asap and i want to get 15x8 for my mk2.

i have set an eye on these:

Image

rota grid V 15x8 and 20 offset 4x100, but white with polished lip and 195/50/15 strech tyres. I emailed to driftworkds and was tolled that i will need arches pulled for them... would i really? Is there some problems with nct if wheels will stick out a bit? i dont really want to do an arch pull. i dont even know who could do that in co. cork and how much would that cost.

my problem is not rolling its pulling them. so did your 8x15 fit well under the arches? you rolled them because of lowering i guess? with 0 offset wheels should be even deeper under the arches so?

you have stretched tyres? i was told nct will fail for stretched tyres...

he has 15x8 there? same wheels, no?

though are those all pics lowered? looks like he passed nct becouse of the wheel angle. they go under the arches. if i kept them standart they would stick out. the only reason he rolled arches was, because of lowering? is he still around here?
