Well i just recently aquired my 97 Jetta Vr6. I'm looking for wheels as of right now. I found some that i really like but i would like to know what it would take to make them bolt up( since they're not the same bolt pattern). The wheels are BBS RS 8j... Any links show what i need or any input for that matter will be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks,
Justin

Pic of wheels...

5x130... is this possible?

 

H&R sells adapters that will allow you to run that bolt pattern. You offset may be a little out of whack though.

 

How much do you think it will be out of whack?
And adapter would fit those wheels?

i really hope you know the price of the wheels, RS's arent a cheap rim.

 

expect to pay alot for real rs's....

 

Ya tell me about it... I did find some for $850 though

 

It would depend on the offset of the RS's as to how much you offset would be off. The 5x100 ==> 5x130 adapters come in either 22mm or 25 mm width so you would need to the RS's to have a high offset in order to account for the width of the adapters. If the offset is too low, you can run the wheels and have them poke out, some people like that look (they call it the euro look).

Edit: Looking at the pic you posted of the wheels, they look to have a low offset, so they will poke quit a bit with adapters.

 

Ok cool. I haven't really made up my mind on which wheels i really like yet but this was just one of the possibilities...

I'm open to all suggestions on wheels so if you have an idea of what would look good please lmk.

Thanks,
Justin
