Can anyone help me find some adaptors to allow me to fit some 5x108 alloys to my vRS?

The offset is 35, so is it even possible?

They will not fit as the offset will be to low.

You would need adaptors which will be around 20mm taking the ET down to ET15 and they won't fit under the arches as they will stick.

So the Octavia offset is et15? Why wouldn't they fit if I got the offset down?

No he Octavia has en ET of 37.

The lower the ET the further they will stick out towards the arches.

If you start off with an ET35 and then you will need adaptors 5 x 108 > 5 x 100 PCD the extra 20mm will take the wheel ET down to ET15 so they will stick out well pass the arch.

You can get away with a final ET30 on the Octavia but that's probably about it.

Ah! I see.

Cheers for clearing that up for me. Know anyone that wants to buy some 18 inch OZ ultraleggeras then? :p

You didn't buy some wheels did you?

Some companies can re drill them,but i wouldn't fit a set of wheels like this.

haha, no mate, but still tempted to buy some cheap to sell on :p

As Jay said, the poke will probably be too much.

Those are the adapters.

What width are the wheels, as you need to consider this with the offset, and adjust the offset according to the rim width.

7.5" OE rims (18" R32 OZ's) are ET38

7" OE rims (17" vRS Spiders) are ET38

6.5" OE rims (16" Beetle steels) are ET42
