Evening all,
I'd like to fit some 14" steels from another car on my K11 and lower it. Has anyone reading this done this mod? I've been looking here: http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html and it seems the VW 4 x 100 wheels have the right offset but the bore is 57 and needs to be 59 - is it as simple as opening up the bore as we have a decent machine shop at work that could help.
Also, having had a look on the bay ot seems 14" x 6" is as wide as standard steelies on other cars goes - how will this look in the arch. I'm thinking a 185 tyre would help fill the arch, but i'm guessing a small space may be needed to look good?
Any help or advice on standard wheels I could look for would be great. I quite like the look of the Mk3 Passat 14" steel (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-PASSAT...s_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item4cfccd7c5a) as it looks similar to the Weller steels, or the G60 polo wheels look good too.
Cheers,
Alex

(no use with alloy wheels tho, coz it clogs the disc eh)
