    Ive been thinking of buying 10 x 17 Brock B1's. I would just like to know if these would fit to my Mk2 8v and what would be involved in fitting them. All i know is they have an ET of 20 [:s]???
    My car is on standard suspension at the moment but will be lowered on FK Coilovers in the next month or so (Hopefully)

    Cheers Guys

    Go for it - get those arches pulled! and then pulled again probably! would look rude as though.

    I didnt think it would be that much of a problem!!

    Spoken to R-Tec who laughed at me down the phone [:^(] and AB Styling who are down by me and they did pretty much the same thing.

    Does anybody know any bodyshop who would take this on because i reeeeeally want these wheels.

    Or does anybody know for any widearch kits for the Mk2??
    Ive found some @ AB Styling But this is not really the look im going for.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as im starting to see this as a bit of a challenge [:D]

    ah come on, you know what I mean! what does the size of your wheels matter? it doesnt make your car faster thats for sure. It seems to me more of a case of "mine are bigger than yours". bragging rights arent fun. Going fast is.
