Bought these for the mk2 but they poke like mad. Looking for trades or sale. Asking 650 but that's Obo. Tires are like new and rims are pretty mint



Thanks for looking!

Eric, that is 2 sets of wheels now that you have bought which didn't work out quite as you planned. Your jetta wheels tuck in super far and have a different hub bore (which you still haven't fixed yet to my knowledge). Maybe you want some help confirming fitment before you purchase your next set?

Who ever buys these could run 195 45 16 and maybe get them to fit as the do look good on a mk2. Have you posted them on beyond?

Yes i realize that. But being an older brother i am guessing that he had something to do with helping pick the wheels out lol. Happens with me all the time

Wellll it's not that they don't fit, it's just they poke a little far for our liking.

Sorry for arguing in your thread but poking too far is not fitting correctly! As i said.....

You obviously don't understand what fitment means do you?

If it bolts up it doesn't mean that it has correct fitment, it means that it has the correct bolt pattern.
If the hub matches then it doesn't have mean that is has correct fitment, it has the correct hub bore size.
If it pokes too much then your fitment is off.
If the wheel is too wide and it scrapes your frame when you turn the fitment is off.

You have a LOT to learn Eric, a lot.

GLWS, i'm done here

Sean, everything fits, width, bore, bolt pattern, they just fit flush with the fender where as we wanted them tucked. You are talking as if fitment is a set thing. Fitment is in the eyes of the owner. I know many people who strive for poke, but like I said, Kyle and I are going for a tucked look.

Thought you were done here?

I think what Sean is trying to say is that if you did your research, looked at offsets, etc. You wouldnt have even had to buy these to know that they will poke.

Still trying to convince my buddy to buy them off you Eric.
