bbs rs help ...

[lepez]

i need to know if anyone here has some experience with going wide on a golf mk1 convertible ...

i'm planning to buy me a set of BBS rs 003 ( 7j wide, ET24) but i want big lips on them ... i'm hoping of putting 8j in front and 8.5 or 9 J in the rear ... but i don't know how wide i can go , and don't want to risk in buying wheels that won't fit when widened..

on VWV there is no sticky about how wide you can go with stock/rolled/pulled fenders?

[lepez]

on vortex ?

you happen to have a link to that ?

I have no idea, I was just wondering if you had looked. On some other car-specific sites I've seen there are stickies with the maximum width/offset/stretch that you can have on stock and/or pulled fenders.

i have checked in the meanwhile , but did'nt find anything quite good ...

i would assume you can fit at least an 8.5, but you can always use an offset calculator or search, then ask on vortex

if it helps i had 15x8 et 0 steelies on my mk1 jetta coupe on coils with rolled fenders and -2.5 camber plates from banchwerks.
