That is a problem, because i don't want to run with adaptors. I want to be bolt-on I'm still waiting for their answer to see if custom is available.

A video made before sending the car to upholstery.

Made at moderate boost, no methanol, just on pump fuel, and only 7000rpm allowed.
Damn, i want this car to be finished so that i can "abbuse" it

Pretty good sound for a 2.0T engine

Just saw that there is 19x8 PCD112 ET42 in that list But 114.3 theoretically shouldn't be a problem:

As for PCD adjustment, bolts are available made to TUV standards which can adapt up to 2.5mm in PCD, so from 114.3 to 112 is fine. They are around €3 each. The way they do it is have a 2 piece bolt with floating head off centre of the bolt axis.
I'm currently putting together a spreadsheet to determine which wheels are appropriate for the R as well as the best tyres to go with them...

OK I've crunched my numbers and now I also hope that custom is available Of all the sizes I can find here (forgot link in my last post on previous page....), there are only 2 that will fit nicely

18x8 ET45 with 225/40R18 rubber - outer edge will be same as factory 19"
19x8 ET42 with 235/35R19 rubber - outer edge sticks out 8mm more than factory 19"

All the other sizes (with appropriately sized rubber on them) stick out 15mm or more compared to the factory 19" wheels and/or increase the track by more than 1" which is the max allowed here in NSW Australia.

Here in Romania we don't have problems with police. They don't bother to check our cars. Very rarely this happens, but it's something superficial.

Due to the fact that i have wider fenders, i need special ET's. And the wheels must be 18x8.5. God helps that they can do them custom

Update from ground zero:
One seat in, one to go




I repeat, this is a temporary solution so that i can take the car out, and tomorrow install on it some technical upgrades, and then put it back to upholstery shop
