Alright guys, im watching some LM reps on ebay at the moment but not sure if they will fit.
They are F 8x18" et35
R 9x18" et35
Will the rears fit with standard fenders?
Need to know asap, thank guys.

yes but if you are Quattro there is no point in putting a 9" rear and if im not mistaken it may actually be harmful.
edit: What is the bolt pattern? haha completely forgot about that.

No mate not quattro I know can't do that after owning a Scooby.
So they will fit no problem? Sweet, I should be ordering them all being well.

Depends on the brand. My LM reps are 19x8.5 ET 32 and they sit pefrectly in the wheel wells with my car really low however i had to grind down my front caliper carriers to make them fit.
ya, since theyre reps you may need to break of the dremel for some grinding.

It doesn't state a make, it doesn't even say there LM reps I just know there are or at least they look like em.
So they'll be ok but I might need to shave abit of caliper? Is this hard?

as long as it is within 2-3% there is no harm to run different width front and rear....i did so for 2 yrs and no harm done

My car is quattro and i have 10's in the rear, and have had them there for this entire year (19x8.5 front / 19x10 rear) with no issues. You will be MORE than ok with that setup, but I stress that you look around for something more unique.
There are a LOT of fantastic wheel options out there that can be in your price range if you know where to look. Generally ebay is not the place. Check the classifieds here and on vwvortex. If you really need help still, I'd be happy to make a few suggestions.

Im desperate for something different but im in UK and really struggling to find anything decent, thats why i cant look in your classifieds and ours are sh*te.
Im gonna have a scout on ebay.de this aft.
Good thing is LM reps are not played out as much over here as they are with you guys so they will still look mint.
I have never seen a car with them on around me.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated though.
