Right so I have picked up a set of Volks for my R32 GTST, 17 X 8 up the front and 17 X 9 on the rear, both @ +45 offset.
I have dummy fitted the fronts and they JUST sit within the guards...quite nicely I might add, and all signs point the the rears sitting inside too. Problem is they currently dont have rubber so I couldnt really tell.
This isnt my problem though, Im searching for some rubber for the rears and have come across some mixed answers from tyre shops, some will fit the rubber (245 I think) and have no problem at all fitting and adjusting everything, while other places wont due to the size and offset of the rims being illegal aparently.
So I though I would come to some experts and get some more info on the matter.
Also these arnt just small shops with different views on the matter, they are well known. Bob Jane, Tyre Power...etc
