audi tt competition wheels on a mk1 ?

Hi guys, i know most, and i agree think the mk 1 looks good on 15's and 16's

but has anyone fitted 17 inch audi tt competition wheels to a mk1, and know of any pics anywhere ?

Thanks

Rich

17s are too big. you'l need lots of archwork

i recon it will make your car look like a rollerskate mate  :cry:

I think they will look too big but i'm sure somebody can have ago with photoshop picture thingy for you to get an idea.

hmmm im thinking it might look like a roller skate as well

but becasue its at standard height and they have low profiles on, im wondering if i would get away without arch work?

gona try and get them photoshopped.

maybe i should stick with the lenso bsx's …….

stick with the lenso's there a nice wheel.

Standard ride 17" 40 profile no archwork





Could do with a 10mm drop at the front i reckon

They're 5 stud aren't they?

Audi TT are yeah.
I think with the adapters they will cause problems with fouling the arches ( adding ET :dontknow: ) but ive seen quite a few MK1s rolling on 4 stud 17"s

Yeah 4 to 5 stud adapters are basically a bodge, I've not seen a safe/decently engineered way to do it yet, short of re-engineering the hub or re-engineering the wheels to be 4 studs. Basically, however you lay out the adapter, 2 of the holes are too close for comfort.

hmmm, see that looks alright in my opinion on 17's at standard ride height with 40 profile

but if the adapters are gona cause the wheels to stick out and foul arches then that could be an issue ……

how do you work it, as when i was looking at putting porsche wheels on, one on the guys on the site explained it to me as …

If the porsche wheels had an offset of 52.3 and then i used 20mm thick converters it would be 52.3 - 20 = offset of 32.3

is that right, and if so, if the tt wheels already have an offset of what i require, what will it mean the wheels get pushed out towards the edge of the arches more ?

just wanted to do something different ….
