thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!

@Josh......will 312s not go behind these wheels then? they are 7J wide instead of the current 6.5J and i was told at the time of buying that 312s 'should' go behind them.

Nope, unfortunately the caliper rubs on the inside of the wheel... Not by much, so you could probably have the calipers butchered a bit.

I very nearly bought a set of these wheels when I first had my car, but when I trial fitted one, I found this problem.

Still, they are bloody lovely :)

if they rub on the inside and you want 312mm just gets some 5mm spacers and longer wheel bolts

Looks lovely, I've been considering dark paint for my BBS when I get them refurbed as I'd like them to be different to standard but I don't want to do black centres. Exhaust looks perfect for the car too! I look forward to seeing it in the flesh at the GTI festival.
