Evo Enkei Wheels

[thisisaustin9221]

*shit sorry move to wheels section please


one of my friends needs tires and hes gonna give me his 17" Evo 9 Enkei wheels and four tires with about 80 percent tread for free if I give him my 18" tires of my detroits which im def. down to do all i have to pay for is wheel adapters for the bolt patterns. do these wheels look good on our cars i cant find any examples of it on a mk6 or any gti's for that matter

any fitment issues i should worry about? (not lowered plan on doing inch an a half springs or so soon as in asap after i put the wheels on) and tires i will be running are 215/45/17 in back and 215/40/17 in the front. o yea wheels are 17/8 et. 35

also the adapters... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5X11...rQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_3690wt_941

any one see any issues as to why these wouldnt work? they are also 1.25 inch spacers is this gonna make my wheels poke out a lot considering the offset of the wheel too?

thanks I just want some people to double check me and let me know if it wont work

Offset is going to be WAY OFF. WAY WAY OFF.

Those are 30mm-ish adapters. With the ET35 offset of the wheels, you are looking at about ET5... which means that your wheels are going to be poking out about 35-40mm. Not going to work unless you have INSANE camber and no fenders at all.

you can run wobble bolts to get the 5x114 evo pattern...et 35 will be perfect fitment

the smaller tires up front will throw off your speedo a little bit and you will need to get even lower to make them look good

oh and aren't the enkeis 17x8.5?
