Steel wheels

[gere]

Hey just wondering what steel wheels would fit on a '95 GL?
Also wondering what would be the optimum tire stretch for the specific wheel.

15x10 0 offset with 165/40. would look mint. I'm sure you can find somewhere that can make you wheels.

Goodluck!

maybe expanded on your question a bit more.
do you want to buy/build custom steelies, or just put stock mk3 ones on.
if custom the sky is the limit
if stock, they are 14x6 from memory, will fit fine and please don't stretch tyres on them

A set of polo gti steelies are in the for sale section on here I think saw them the other day the dudes giving hem away for free pretty sure they are 5x100 stud pattern no idea about offset or anything though think they were 14's but hey they are free worth a try on the car.. If that's what your after anyway..

[Jarred]

If you have "no idea about offsets or anything", then you probably shouldn't be giving advice on wheels.


OP. Be more specific. Pictures help.

Ahaha yeah what I meant by that was I couldn't remember what offset they had off the top of my head would have to find that post

I don't know if anyones seen the mighty car mods golf, but steel rims like those ones.
Unless stock steel rims can be located, i can easily get them widened.

thanks for the feedback doe!

Maybe look into the ones surfpig had on the Vento. Mighty mods ones didn't fit.

being new I cant sense the sarcasm...
So im just going to hope you were joking ha.

in addition to Anth, check out sneakypetes latest widened oem 16s (these look the best imo), and his 15s he had on his VR6

nah in all seriousness i am so confused as to what to put on there.
Moving away from the steel wheels, does anyone know the stud patterns for other wheels?
I know that the stud pattern for the mk3 2.0 is 4x100.

I was thinking porsche/audi/mercedes wheels? or possibly just finding some bbs if i can be bothered with the money... i need suggestions!

Mate, what's your budget. Sky is the limit. I've seen lambo wheels and brakes on our little old mk3s. A lot can be done. In answer to your question though. Porsche(5x130) audi(5x100 or 5x112) mercedes(5x112) so if you were to fit anything other than 4x100 obviously you're looking at adapters which will raise your cost another $380 or so.
You can look into things like old bmw wheels that came in 4x100 also civics and heaps of other cars. Plenty of aftermarket options available to suit the 4x100 pattern and I highly suggest getting your head around offset calculations (remember offset is nothing without width!) first especially if you're thinking about adapters.

If you're unsure about all the things that determine if a wheel will fit (brake clearance, centre bore, width, offset) better to go with something that you've previously seen that has worked.

my steelies are 15x8 et+20 and fit perfectly on a mk3
