    Out of curiosity, what are the lips sizes front and rear?

    I consulted this guide to help me measure Lip and Barrel sizes, but I am interested to hear if you concur
    http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3773369

    So far I only measured one of the front 8.5J wheels, and by my reckoning the Lips are 2.5 inches and Barrels are 6.5 inches

    I put a straight level across the lip and measured down. It shows 2.5 inches on the tape, and the guide above says you need to subtract 1/4 inch for the bead, but as you can see in the second picture my tape couldn't get all the way down because the end didn't fit inbetween the bolts and the difference is about 1/4 inch






    For the barrels, it really looks like 6 5/8 from the centre to the outer limit, but I doubt they make barrels to 1/8 inch increments so I don't know if subtracting the bead would make the barrel a 6" or 6.5"




    Another way of looking at it is that the total width of the wheel is 9.5".

    If you subtract 1/4 inch from each side for bead then we have the Barrel and Lip add up to 9" - so if the Lip is 2.5 then the Barrel is 6.5



    - - - Updated - - -

    I put a tape on one of the rear 9.5J wheels and as expected they are 10.5 inches total width. The lips are the same ~2.5inches and so the barrels would be 7.5 inches, which accounts for the extra inch of rated width.

    Thank you for taking the time, Andrew. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the pictures are not showing up for me so I can't quite confirm.

    The beads should be .5" on each side (although it could depend the wheel brand I suppose). So the wheels overall should measure 1" wider bead to bead.

    For the front, what you subtract and what you add is relative to where you are measuring from. Since you are measuring from the face, you have to subtract .5" for the bead but add .25" for the thickness of the lip (assuming the lip is .25" thick)... so thats a net of subtracting .25", which is what you did for the front wheel's lip. So if all of that is correct, the fronts should measure 9.5" bead to bead. If the lips are in fact 2.5", the barrels are 6", and each of the beads are .5".

    For the rears, if the lips are the same all of the way around, then the barrels in the rear should be 7" not counting the bead.

    I was basically trying to gauge how much lip there was to work with to convert these into more e36 offset friendly. Going down to 1.5" lips will yield:

    Fronts 7.5J et25
    Rears 8.5J et33
