Tl;dr: What options - if any - do I have to make these rims fit?
Hello all,
I ordered a set of used VMR V710 rims (wheels!) from Facebook. After getting them, I realized that the offset is pretty aggressive for the mk7. I may have messed up.
The wheels are 19x8.5 ET35 - PCD 5x112. I have attached pictures of how they fit on the car. Obviously these don't help too much since the wheel hub is hanging, but it's still sticking out way more than I was expecting.
My issue is the cost I've already sunk into the set. I got the four used for $300 since that was a pretty good deal. I spent $300 repairing the bends in three and will need to spend $280 replacing the fourth altogether. Then I will need tires.
However, I need to decide whether I can wear these or not. If it's not going to work, I'd rather cut my losses now and try to sell these off. I don't necessarily want to camber the wheels, but I'm not afraid to roll out the fenders if that would help. What do you all think I can/should do?
Note: I've got VWR lowering springs on the car.
