wheels sizes

[hkogti]

standard size for GTi is 205/45R16 x 6.5

Can i go 205/45R16 x 7?

Cant found anything i like in that size (16 x 6.5)!!!

And i dun want to go 17"...

Also, does those offset matters?

What is the offset on the standard wheels?

Use the search button theorically you can go 10s wide just depends how much you want to play.

yes 16x7 is fine, you want a 35-38mm offset, I have seen a few on ebay that fit the bill. Our std offset is 43mm but the UK has the same wheel with 38mm.

this is a great offset calculator

the michelin website http://www.michelin.com.au/tyres/pas...lotPreceda.asp
says that for R16 205/45 tyre, you need a 6.5 to 7.5 rim width, with 7' being ideal

Well considering they were off by 1mm, then it still looks like thin air...
