I know this question has been asked a million times but im still unsure of the answer

How wide can i go on the rear of my golf ?

Im looking to buy new wheels in the next 2 - 3 months and i want to go for a staggerd fitment.

Will i fit 10 inch wide on the rear with stretched tyres or should i go for 9 inch wide?

Any help will be appreciated.

Well im going for 18 inch, Im gonna have 8x18 on the front and i wanted 10x18 on the rear but aint got a clue about offsets ect.

The wheels are gonna be direct fitment for a mk4 golf if that makes a difference

 that thread which i give you a link to is for 10x17's as i thought sure there is someone here on here with 10x18's. now im guessing here but it could be amz? think they are merc wheels

Well i think ive decided to go for 9 inch wide on the rear now rather than 10s.

Just need to decide if i want 17s or 18s now

Does anyone have any pics of stretched tyres on 9 inch wide wheels? 

I would go with 9s on the rear too, more practical that 10s.  Gotta be 18s tho mate, you will only wish you went bigger if you get 17s.

Well i got 18s on there at the moment so may stick to that

What do you think of these

 10s will fit no worries, you need to work out the offsets, a 35mm normal offset is gonna stick out a little bit, but still doable. will look great whatever, i'm sure

randomly a thread on here about this today, with loads of pics

Ohhh im thinking 10s would be sooooo sweet.

God im confused now

Love those wheels, any more pics of them?

You can get the wheels in various colours but these are the 2 im stuck between

If you go for a 9 inch wide or more the dish is like the pic i put up earlier and the fronts will be like the pics above 

 niiiiiiiice.not sure bout the red rims tho.make them look abit cheaper than the others i think

I know what you mean mate.

To be honest i will prob go for the greyish ones.

P.S.

Them headlights of yours are super bright, i see you coming a mile away in the mornings

I would go with the grey ones, look great.  What wheels are they? Cant see them any any lenso line ups on the net

They are due into the country in around 6 weeks

ill be getting them from here http://www.autopartuk.com/

They only supply to trade so ill get them through work (get them a bit cheaper then aswell )

 after looking at that link to the vortex thread, 18x10 is definately the way forward

lol i know people have told me.theyre only 6000k tho and it passed the mot so they must be lined up ok.lol

i fitted my front mount sunday but look shoot coz i still got my standard bumper on.gotta get time to paint my new one!

them wheels should look good mate!not going for lm reps now then?

 the grey looks great, i love time attack style rims with the red stripe but think that red stripe is a little bit too wide. a thin red line around the rim would be much better.

Yeah the red lip seems to be much bigger than on other wheels

Well Skierandy kindly done a photochop of these wheels for me.

I think i owe you a few beers now Andy

Anyway here is how it is now

And this is the photochop

The dish on the rear will be a lot bigger aswell (like the pic above) but was awkward to with the pics Andy had.

Im really liking it and will be ordering them as soon as they are available with the people we deal with in work.

What do you think guys?
