The thing is, you liked the red DRL's, but the implications you could have? You've done the right thing by removing the coloured film.

So what is the size of the wheel after all?
On their website, Bola states that the B6 is available either in 8 or 9J width.
Can you show us a pic what it looks like looking from the back or the front?

It looks as if they would be better suited to wider tyres RichTea, probably 235/40, but for now you'd better keep well away from kerbs :wink:

I'm looking to put OZ FORMULA HLT (MATT, BLACK) 18x8j with 235 PS4S tyres. Had a quick look on will they fit. I'm worried about them sitting 3.3mm closer to the suspension strut. Might need to add some 3mm spacers. i'm comparing them to the stock brecsias. Can anyone see any issues I might have? Car has not been lowered.
