Are the wheel sizes identical between a pre-Fl and Fl ?

Featured Replies

Looking at ordering my winter wheel / tyre combo from MyTyres and they only list the pre-fl TFSi vRS, I take it that the wheel / tyre fitment is identical between the pre-fl and fl vRS ?

Thanks.

Yes it is, the only difference is pre FL better( more clearance ) for uprated brake calipers

Interesting - so does the pre FL have a different hub / brakes setup ?

The zenith have more spokes which are thinner and more concave than the Neptunes, brakes and hubs identical

What tyres are you thinking to go with the steels from there? I was drawn to the nankangs sv2. Price and wife has a set on her winter wheels.

Zeniths are awesome for brake clearance. They clear 996 turbo big reds with only an 8mm spacer.

Unlike Neptunes, which (without modification to the caliper) will not clear an S3/R32 front set up with new pads!!

I just changed to my winter setup today running 245s on 18" Zeniths (never mind the width - just feel the tread), and will be using the 17" Proteus on a TT with all-season 225/50 Maxxis MAZ4S.

I have those and they are going back on tomorrow - quality tyres with very good grip levels
