A TDIClub member is interested in a set of wheels that I have for sale. they are BBS VZ027, 16X7½, 5X100 with an offset of 38. Anybody know if there would be any fitment issues?

I don’t see a A3 or B4 in your profile.... These cars were 4x100.

No, I don't have a B4. Asking for someone who is interested in the wheels. His car is a converted VR6, which has a ZF suspension instead of the TDI's TRW version.

Take this for what it’s worth..... I’m running Corrado steelies on my wagon. 6” wide with 35et. I probably tuck around 1” at the front, on a stock suspension.

That plus suspension is 1” wider on both sides or total? If the former, it may poke in the front. If the latter, it may sit flush. At the rear, there won’t be any issues. You can probably run 9” width with 35et and not poke, in the rear.

They should fit fine so long as the center bore is 57.1mm or larger.
Thanks, Mark
They are hub centric for the MKIV with no rings necessary, and they use standard VW spherical lug bolts, not conical like most aftermarket wheels. VW offered the 18" version of the VZ as an OE option on the Phaeton.
