Something different/interesting for an MKIV.

[smarty98]

So my mkiv jetta plans have changed alot since i bought my car, i run oem longbeaches atm. And i am buying raceland ultimos in the next few weeks, problem is.. If i slam my car on the longbeaches, they will rub and scrape. So i decided to go with 10mm in the front and 15 mm in the back while i have my long beaches. Then the plan is to buy these jeep wrangler wheels that are 17 x 7.5 and 5x127 lug pattern. And a 71.5 centric bore. I have no f**cking clue what any of those numbers mean.... BUT all i can do is ask for advice on, 1: should i need wheel spacers if i buy wheel adapters? And what size adapters. I would **** to buy spacers for my oem wheels then not be able to use then a month or two later because of the different sized jeep wheel. Let me know guys thanks

You're gonna need adapters for the Jeep wheels because the Jetta bolt pattern is 5x100, not 5x127.

That's gonna bad ass. They will fit but with some fender rolling and lots of camber.

They wouldnt fot without fender rolling? Really didnt want to do that lol.

That really may not be such a bad idea. It may have been done many times, and you may get some **** for it, but as a teenager you can't really expect to blow everyone away with a completely unique build without sinking 10 grand into it. If you want to do something tried and true like sawblades, go for it if they appeal to you. If you would like to try and find something more unique, go for it if you aren't afraid to take the risk. If there's one thing i have learned in the time I have owned my car it's that it may not be a show stopper any time soon, but that doesn't mean I can't make it cool. I know this is kinda off topic, and long, but just trying to share some advice with a fellow teenager




Oh and BTW, you are still gonna need adapters for the sawblades also, so if I were you I would not buy any spacers / adapters until you are sure of what wheels you want and how wide you want to go, because you will need to base everything else off of that.
