Does anyone know if the 16x6.5" Rave wheel sold by VW will fit properly on my 98 GTi VR6? just curious about back spacing/rubbing issues. looking to replace my 15" DE wheels. any help is appreciated

Re: 16" VW Rave Q? (BenGone)

Raves are 16 x 6.5 et 42mm. I had a set on my Corrado SLC and there was only about 1.5mm--literally--between the front brake calipers and the spokes. With your slightly larger 11.3" rotors and calipers I don't think it would work for you. You could use some 5mm H&R spacers to solve the problem. BTW, if you don't have the rims yet, I can tell you where to get a new set for $300.

Re: 16" VW Rave Q? (VR6guy)

i found that $300 deal. probably the one your talking about IMPEX. that sucks i like the way they look but if they won't fit they won't fit. i don't want to have to run spacers. thanks for the help.
