Mk1 Wheel Width

[funkamedic]

if the wheels are off a gem you'll need hub centric spacers. gem's centre bores are roughly 70mm. as well as the special bolts.

yeah i did some research and apparently the dragway wheels are zero offset, so looks like a no goer anyway

hmmm, might have to get back on the search for some 15" steelies...

yeah right! but ppl round here say ur crazy bro. i figured zero would be too much poke. i don't mind a bit of poke, altho i don't want cop bait. i seem to attract enough attention anyway . but still, maybe i should try some on for size!

hey steve, ive got a feeling that your rear ET isnt minus 7, im poking pretty much the same as you with an ET7 and im poking 37mm out from the guards........... not trying to diss it, its badass, but i think ET-27 isnt right.......

Ohwell thats some people got to step out of the boundaries sometimes! Some people also said that 13s wouldn't work, couldn't get enough praise at the nats

You could be right bro, however won't the GTI flares add a bit so it doesn't look that much?

[WABIT]

Yeah I know I cbf arguing it with you lol. For DOVW will put the cars side by side and go at it then lol.

ok, so i've got another Q...

i'm looking at some steelies, 15inch 4x100, i think offset is ok (not sure on width) but centre bore is 54.0. if i get centre bore increased to 57.1 these'll be sweet?

and, assuming they're 15x6 what tyre size would be best.

cheers!!

165/50's will be good, toyo make them in the teo plus range
