16" rims on a MK5

Postby Guy88 » Sun Sep 02, 2007 8:36 pm

I am looking at a set of AEZ Vantage wheels in 16"

Will these fit under the arches and not loose too much lock. i am looking at putting 215 70 r16 rubber on them

yes i did :twisted: not sure why they kept snapping i think there was to much pressure on them as the wheel wasnt sat flush to the edge(but saying that id already had the wheels on for over a year so probably dud studs) :?: :?: :?
