Side door catches ever so slightly... Would be solved by getting the ET48 version and that would also sort out the left side axle poke on VW's

Re: The Caddy Alloys Thread
I think I read you can space the door out on the hinges about 5 mm to clear the wheel

Sadly its spaced... I'll take a better picture of the centre of the wheel but the spokes poke out a little

Re: The Caddy Alloys Thread
Is it possible to run 18x8' et20?
I assume there maybe issue with SLD with ET20?
Thanks in advance

Re: The Caddy Alloys Thread
No chance. The smaller the ET the more they poke out.
I run ET42 and can open the side door with a few millimeters to spare.

I have a "thing" for steel wheels! I had 7x16 et31 merc steels on my T3 (T25 for you Brits!), and I'd have 17" steels on the Touran if they had them

New replica Audi Wheels. Not sure what model they are from. I've only seen them on the concept A3 Clubsport. 19 x 8 et45 running 235/35/19.
