Default Well, I see the resale value of the B5 chassis has taken anotehr hit.

Lets see if we can shortcut this:

You, not knowing what you are doing, ask a question of us, who have owned these cars for a while, and have a good solid grasp of the technical issues we face.

We, being smart, tell you not to do something stupid.


You, not liking our answers ( remember, you asked us..)call us "haters" and get all huffy.


Someone comes to your defense and says we should not make fun of the noobs, and I laugh my way to sleep tonight.


Done?

Good.

Default Take a look...9.5 is kind of wide in the rear and you will likely rub.

Just do 8.5 wide all the way around. <not my car>
IIRC those wheels are a ET 38.

Hahah alright, I'll take your guys advice and not get staggered, I'll just stick to some 18x8.5. Thanks
