Have you tried bbs directly?

 

[blakey-]

yes ive been on the bbs website but didnt have no joy.

 

[zekegti]

Well if their saying no it looks like your luck is out. You could keep an eye on ebay or various vag forum classifieds.

i saw a set of them in 20" on the german ebay but i dont think i would fit em in my arches lol.

 

[flyfs6]

I'm not sure. Mine are 19x9.5 and the offset is et25.

I don't have any photos on me, but they fill up the arches on my R32 very nicely.

 

[asgh4r]

how much have you been quoted for the ones with an offset 25?

that must look lush.i was told the et 25 is the tt offset so they will sit about an inch out of my arch?

do the r32s have bigger arches than the gti???

the et25s where ?3300 with tyres.

et25 with 8.5' wide would be fine.

As far as i know though le-mans are no longer made. Don't think they were ever made in a 35mm offset either?

Dont think so mate, there is no way u can fit 19x9.5 with 25mm ET on the front of a mk4

For some reason BBS seem to only do ET 25 for LMs for the mk4! which gets on my nerves as the correct offset is 35mm!!!

what can i do to make them fit with et25??????

ive seen a few mk4s with them on.

 

[imran]

Nothing really! i mean they will fit but will stick out of the arch a bit! it jus means that u wouldnt be able to lower as much!

ok thanks.

all the mk4s i have seen with them on aint been very low.

As mentioned, BBS no longer produce the Le Mans wheel, Mine are 8.5x19" et 25 and that is right on the limit of the wheel arch. Flyfs6, you must be mistaken about yours being 9.5" wide! BBS in Germany do not supply 9.5"x19" with a 5x100 pcd, and highlight on their TUV that on an 8.5" wheelarch modifications "might" have to be undertaken.

They are simply the best wheel that money can buy if you ask me, you just can't beat them.

8.5 wide (et25) will be fine for a Golf, probably wouldn't stick out of the arch at all. My rear wheels are 8.5 (et13) and sit about level with the arch

 

[imran]

No they will stick out. My mate has 18inch LMs and they stick out of the arch, u can clearly see it.

I have 8.5 with et35 and they sit flush with the front arches, the rears they sit in.

I have 18x8.5 rears that running 15mm offset and they stick a bit out of the arch!
