|
|
Has anyone used these rims on their bus....? Stock 2010 VW Golf 18 hole, steel rims. The specs say 15' x 6" rim, 5 x 112 pattern and a 42mm offset. Per my research, the 5x 112 pattern is good and the off set on stock rim was 39mm, so I figure definately close enough on offset.
I am trying to upgrade to 15"rims so as to have a better selection of tires. They even look like I may be able to fit my stock hubcabs on?! I would love it if that worked out.
I like the look of my stock 14 wheels and hubcabs but would like the 15" rim for wider selection of tires. I tried looking through sticky thread on tires but this question deals more with rims and specifically on the GOLF rims as a good option for late bays. |

Here you go, I’ve also been considering this. They do seem to fit but you’ll need to open up the centre bore, and some people like to put spacers on the front too. Good luck! _________________ Erik |

Thanks for link to other thread. Lots of good info. I didn't consider size of opening in rim for hub.... Glad it was mentioned. Thanks |
