Came across 4 x Votex Ronal 7Jx15H2 ET45's while looking for a replacement stock BBS rim for my 94 VR6.

All seems fine but the ET45 is my concern. Will these fit on a VR6 OK ?

New for $600 seemed OK ?

They looks like this (as near as I can find on net) but are still in the shop until I can confirm they will fit.

Stock VR6 wheels are 15x6.5 with ET38 correct? If so, ET45 on 7" should be fine, regarding suspension. The Votex wheels will stick in by 7mm further into the car, which is quite negligible in pretty much all cars. However, I wouldn't be sure on coilovers though as they require more clearance, but on stock suspension or cup kits, I believe it should be fine.

Also, it would be best to test fit to see if it would clear the brakes/calipers. You really can't tell by offset when it comes to that.

Thanks rayra086, much appreciated. VR6 is stuck in the garage with spacesaver on awaiting BBS wheel delivery and yet to go through inspection here in WA to get onto road so hard to take to shop to do fit-up test. Hopefully will get BBS sent from East this week and through test. :)

No worries mate :) The BBS mesh looks much better IMO anyway!
