Posted by: nick mironov Jan 22 2006, 04:25 PM

I have a lead on obtaining 18-spoke VW GTI rims. They are 18"x7.5 with a 5 lug x 100 pattern and an offset of 38.

Assuming that I have converted to 5-lug hubs, will these VW GTI rims fit? I still need to factor in flaring the fenders, assumming that the rims can even be used.

What is the standard offset on a 914?
What is the offset after conversion to 911 hubs?
What is the lug spacing on 911 hubs?

4x130 and 5x130 hubs can use the same offset rims....your only realy option is to run 5x130 to 5x100 adapters....not a cheap solution at all unless those GTI rims are darn near free....
