Default Second hand rims, will they fit?

Hi, I've read the wheel / tyre fitting, but it's all foreign to me so wanted to double check.

They're the old volk racing gt-c rims and spec is:

5 x 114, offset 44, 17" 8.5j front 17" 9.5j rear

Any info would be great!

Thanks.

wheels will probably rub without doing any modifications to the arches and adding negative camber

I'm sure one of the guys like R8yb will be here to answer your questions

Yes, that's what I've seen for OEM, but I'm asking if these particular after markets will fit.

AS PER MY TOPIC.

Ah, ok, think that answers my question.

Was going to make a bid for them, but if you have to modify the original car just for some alloys, then it's not for me.

Thanks,
Al.

It's probably going to need work with those offsets.

to not rub you would need 48+ fronts and 63+ minimum

If your not lowered more than 40mm and have your geometry set for -2 at the rear which is conservative they'll fit fine
