MiamiBourne & others................The below are some findings after I measured my current
OE 17" wheels
After taking measurements and using
www.willtheyfit.com your statements
dont agree with what I found on my 2019 Golf SE.
1) My 19 Golf came with factory 17 Alloy Wheels
which I hope these specs are correct I found at Wheel-Size.com
Tire 225/45R17 Wheel 7x17 ET49
2) Using a 48" Carpenters level standing Vertical and touching front fender I measured into edge of metal
rim and got approx 20mm
3) Using www/
willtheyfit.com I compared the above specs with my "new" specs 18x8.5 ET45 (VMR710 Wheel)
and 235/40-18 Tires and the (willtheyfit) calculator says the
New (wheel) rim will be OUT
23mm from the
Old
so that would be OUT 3 mm More Than Flush ????
(Does anybody know how I can verify what my current factory rim is for specs (17x7 et49) pic below
4) I did same measuring procedure at rear qtr panel. OE back rim (17x7 et49) was IN approx
33mm from edge
of qtr panel so NEW Wheel (18x8.5 et45) will be OUT
23 mm leaving a
10mm Inboard Fitment from Flush.
So assuming this is where I could use a
10mm spacer to make flush???
MiamiBourne, In your above post #770 your using same spec 18x8.5 et45 with same 235/40 tire (same meaning what
my new set up will be) PLUS 10mm spacer but I can't tell from picture angle IF Rim is Outboard from Flush.....but I'm
thinking it Must Be ?????
