MkV wheel/tire fitment guide

[Elliott]

Quick question for you guys...

I'm looking at a staggered set of wheels and i know the front (18x8.5 ET35) fits but i wanted to know what are your thoughts on the rear that are 18x9.5 ET45.

Will the rear require spacers?

Also, they will be wrapped with 215/40r18s. Yay or Nay?

Same as the alphards but the rears will poke 5mm less. 215/40 will be fine

Anyone? Bueller?

So I'm running 19x8.5 ET45 fronts and 19x9.5 ET45 rears, both with 225/35R19 tires, and H&R Touring Cup Kit for suspension. The drop is about 1.5". I'm looking for a less aggressive stretch with my rear tires, and was wanting to go to a 235/35 series tire. With adding an extra 5mm on either side of the tread, I'm not sure if this setup will end up rubbing or not. Any thoughts?

You will most definitley rub.

so i fitted the 18x9.5 up front with 205/40 tires and surprisingly i don't rub. its VERY close to the strut but it clears.

Hey guys,
I have a set of Work Ewing 5x120.65 wheels with 17x9.5 et 63 all around.

I have been trying my best with research about how to run these to clear my struts but would def like all of your opinions

I was thinking minimum 30mm adapters to clear the struts?

 

[Swiper]

Yeah get adapters that are atleast 25mm thick. There are people on here running 9.5et 38-35. Pretty common. Adaptec can make you adapters for that to 5x112


Tapatalk because bored.

What wheels?

But you should sell them cause those specs will need camber plates and fenders pulled in the rear

Work vs, I'm debating if I want to keep it and rebuild it or get a new one
