[Jack]

Yes.

[Higgim]

Not only will they fit but they'll also look class. I'm a big fan. If I was picky I would want a deeper dish but it looks like thay might be cheap so worth a punt.

My chosen measurements - 8x15 ET0 = phat.

[iRocco]

What's the ET range I can fit?

I know the standard are 28mm...........

Ooo, and what tyre size should I fit?

[Higgim]

I have seen allsorts on VWs. Ideal would be 20 - 30

Those 14s have probably been on a Vauxhall so will sit quite far in on the Rocco as the ET is quite high. I wouldn't want to go any higher as you risk fouling the suspension assembly.

My rears (the dimensions above) have got streched tyres - its the only way they will fit under the arches and its not lowered excessively. Trying to find a garage to stretch the tyres is a ball ache.

Sorry - just noticed I put ET0 above. My rears are ET20 and the fronts are ET15. The fronts are 7x15 though - I got the lower offset so they would stick out further. 8x15 on the front was too much for the PAS and the arches

[Grahamini]

They look class

Price don`t look too bad either at the mo`

[rmad]

I love the look of RFX's but don't expect a 6x14 (especially with that offset) to give you a wide euro style stance. If you want to go wide look for something intended for a RWD application, or something off ebay.de.

[iRocco]

Surely if there're 14" then they won't foul the arches as my current steels are 14"...........

Could I get 195x60xR14 on or maybe 205x60xR14?

Can I measure the distance between the face of the hub and the suspension to find out the maximum ET I could fit - or does someone already know that?

I found a set of MX5 steels on eBay earlier this week - brand new with brand new Yoko's, still at £20....... ;D

[stuyizz]

Not really my cup of tea but certainly euro look

oh and get your mits of them mx-5 steels... I'm watching them for my girlfriends car ;D

[Grahamini]

Looks like they`re missing the centre caps ?

[iRocco]

Yeah, saw those earlier this week - but my car only cost me £149 so I don't want to spend a fortune on some wheels for it

I got outbid on a set of G60 Steels last night as well

You can always use wheel spacers if your offset is too low - places like Machine7 do spacers up to about 32mm!!!

[SeventyNine]

i was thinking about some 13x8 ats classics for my escort, what sort of et would be ideal for them? also what tyres would i need for a streched look on the same rims and how far dya think i can lower it from stanrd without scrubbing.

cheers

That's true - I'd only need between 7-10mm spacers to get the RFX's to look good on the Rocco......... + with 195/60/R14 tyres (or 195/50/R14 and lower it 30mm........oh the decissions;))

[Badger Bill]

I thought that the 'weapons of choice' for the Scirocco were these things?

Of course there is a little matter of money, but lets not think about that now, stick 'em on 0% plastic for 6 months and hope that the bank forgets... ;D ;D
