Will fit no problem.
I was dumped on KW V2s, 19x9.5 +27 R and 19 x 8.5 +37 F
all I had was a rear fender roll, and stretched 225/35 tires on the 9.5s and 215/35 on the 8.5s
Oh ya, totally forgot 2nd gens have a bit wider fenders.
Fit no problem?! What a load! I drove in your car, you rubbed if someone so much as looked at the car! lmaoQuote:

I plan on stretching the same tires
LOL you were in my car when I had two sets of tires in the back :P
and rubbing isn't the end of the world, if you want stance its something you'll usually have to live with (from my limited experience)
Depends what rubs. I actually rub much MUCH more with my winter setup.
You're right, it's not, but anything you can do to prolong the life of the tires is always good.
+1 to that lolQuote:

Unfortunately, unless I win a small lottery soon, my dream set up will have to wait 1-2 years.
Want Tenzo Concept-9's. $363 for 1 rear rim $346 for 1 front. + rubber
Brand new, my works were like $500 USD per rim, no tires, pre-tax and customs.Quote:

Look for them used.
I don't even want to know what a brand new set of my BBS would cost now :S 1k+ a corner? Kijiji ftw.

Buy from Japan now, ship by sea (just under 2 months) and give them to Curbed in February.Quote:

Haha I would love to... Rotiform is sooooo pricey though. I can't justify it :( everything about stance is just too expensiveQuote:

Re barreling isn't really cost effective (I think) when you consider shipping the wheels across the country and then the fact that they are now xx spec and you need xx buyer to purchase them.
I came here to post something else and now I forgot.
Bah!
Oh right

^That retarded van thingy from japan running like > 45* of camber?

Yeah, was it that ridiculousness from japan?
love the sti splitter on that red hatchie
Nah it was Chefs hatch on 19s I wanted to post lol.
dave - VW's typically run offsets of like +30 - +35 right?
Factory?

I used Yahoo Japan Auctions, which is very popular over there. Browse it using Google to translate. Email any vendors with the wheels you like, with a nice detailed note asking if they would kindly ship to Canada. Within a week of browsing the site I had found the wheels with a guy who would ship and let me pay directly (signing up for an auction account to buy isn't that easy). I could dig up his info if anyone is interested, as he still deals in wheels I believe.Quote:

just kidding lol... I LOVE that stance! looks very aggressive and functional too
Lol are those even 'fakes' though?
IMO inexpensive original design wheels are fine. I mean DAI candy wheels (and my old wheels) kinda look like Gram lights and no one ever ragged on them
I don't know... I know Privat makes BBS replicas, so I assumed. Honestly though, I have nothing against "fake", "replica" or inexpensive wheels AT ALL. I was just making a joke haha.Quote:

Agreed !!! buy some reps and save some $$$ and upgrade your snail !!! my 10cQuote:
