I have some 205 gti wheels which are getting tyres soon and I have some questions:

1. Can I have some stretch on them/would it look stupid (any pics)?
2. If I space them out would it put excess stress on the rear axle?
3. Can you refurb wheel bolts or just get new ones?

Cheers

1 will prob look stupid cos rims not wide enough
2 if you get correct spacers no
3 put wheel bolt covers on them

1. Cheers that's what I thought
2. What do you mean correct spacers? (not shit budget ones)
3. Can't get one for the locking wheel nut

hubcentric spacers that bolt to hub then alloys to spacers. NOT the long longer wheel bolt version.

i ain;t got a cover on my locking wheel nut, but as your using 205's they cover with a plastic cap anyway that will take the cap covers

Hubcentic sparta where the ones I was going to use don't trust the ones that you need longer bolts, don't know why just do. The caps I have only cover the centres not the bolts
