Looking good mate! :)
Might take a look into those adaptors when I get these alloys.....

I have found a set of 19" alloys for sale with 215/35/19 tires!
They are 7.5" in width and a E.T of 42!
Will these fit my car? Does anyone know? :)

quick question ........

I have Audi TT alloys at home.
they are 18x9 and PCD=5x112 and ET 52

Could they fit my car if i bought 20mm adapters? which would be 4x100-5x112??

Or would they be to wide and hit the arch?

Thanks :)
