Anyone know if this is even possible without spacers or any other modification?

I think the factory 17" rims are ET 43 (?) so I'm not sure these will clear without rubbing either the caliper, the wheel well, the strut housing or something.

Anyone have anything definitive?

Thanks.

Darryl

Looks like these rims are the factory rims from a 2012 TT, so I'm pretty sure I can't make them work.

Space them to 35, they will fit.

Darryl

Thanks Axis. So to be sure, are you saying to add 35mm spacers? Or add 17mm spacers to bring them to the equivalent of ET 35?

I punched the numbers into the wheel offset calculator at 1010tires.com and it says there would be 32mm less space between the inside of the rim to the strut housing than there is from factory. This takes into account the 19" rims being 2 inches wider than my 17" rims.

Adding 35mm spacers would have the outside of the wheels way outside the fender, no? About 2 inches further out.

No, I wasnt refering to using a 35mm spacer lol, I meant to end up with a final offset of 35 by using a 17mm spacer.

If you want to avoid rubbing, you could use a 10mm spacer and end up with a final offset of ET42

The 1010tires offset calculator is a good tool.

If im not mistaken The width/offset of oem wheels is 7.5/45 but I always use 8.5ET35 as a reference since its the perfect match IMO.
