Hi what wheels will fit on a g40 with rolled arches and 256 brakes.

what is the et all about ?

would et35 and  they are 6jx14h2  fit do you think ?

yes should fit if correct profile tyres are used

i have 185/60 and 185/65 floating around. 3 of each for some reason.

would the higher ones be better on front or back ?
as in using them as pairs. 2 x 65 and 2 x 60

Personally, even if they do fit I wouldn't use either size. 185/65 are balloons in Polo land, and 60's aren't much better.
185/50/14's give the correct rolling radius.

Ok cheers, trying to keep the cost down I would rather use what I have for now and if I have to replace then go down that road of getting the right tyres.

both those tyre sizes will probably rub like crazy

I have had them on the car before and they didnt seem to.

my arches have been rolled and have coilovers.

dont get me wrong the oz wheels i sold did on full lock and if the car had more then me in it.
