All that I know about the wheels for the B5 is that they're supposed to be a 5x112 bolt pattern 35mm offset and a 57.1 hub bore. I'm not really a wheel aficionado but I saw some bbs replicas with a +40 offset and a 66.6 hub bore. Would I have to buy spacers or something to make them fit or can i just bolt em on?

 

Get a set of 5mm spacers with integrated hubcentric rings that adapt from 66.6mm to 57.1mm and you'll be set.

 

Yeah that offset shouldn't be a problem. I have OEM 17" Celebrations and the offset on those is 42 IIRC. Spacers/hub rings to go from 66.6 to 57.1 are readily available and shouldn't cost you more than $100 or so for 4 of them.

 

Thanks guys! I just got my learners permit and inherited my dads car, I was saving up but my dad took me by surprise lol, but hey its a free car! Now I have extra money to mod it . So far I've done a timing belt replacement, new exhaust and thinking coilovers in the spring then new rims. Thanks to everyone thats helping a N00b :P

 

Good on you for doing the maintenance first. Too many "ZOMG WANT MOAR HORSEPOWERZ FART CAN EXHAUST AIR INTAKE LESS THAN $100" threads around here lately...

 

Yea my dad is guiding me along the way, I dont want to do anything to get more horsepower until I get comfortable driving, I floored it for the first time in second gear and the pull got me by surprise lol

 

Well good. If you need help with anything else that your dad can't help you with, feel free to ask us. Welcome to AF!
