Octavia RS alloy problem

Doggy27 · 20-04-2005, 19:24

I've currently got some 8.5/19" Audi A8 alloys with 235/35 tires on my Octavia RS but have found out that they are too wide for the car and now need to either have some bodywork done(which I would like to avoid) or find some new wheels.. Problem is I would prefer not to go smaller than 19".. Anyone who has some suggestions as to what alloys would fit and still look good??

Thanks

I assume the tyres are rubbing..where and under what circumstances e.g loaded, cornering etc.

Have the same wheels on mine lowered quite a lot on coilovers with no problems.

Not the best quality pic but gives you an idea.

What is the offset of those wheels? We had a member from India asking recently about the largest wheels which would fit an Octavia. I don't think he received a definitive reply from us.
