Excuse my late answer, I've been off the forum for a while!
GTi runs well on 14s, no problem whatsoever (tyre size in my case is 185/55/14).
No spacers needed for Starlites
No worries dude! Good to hear from you again! Any news on your Lupo? 😁
Thank you so much for the response. Can't wait to get my Starlites on!! -

I'm itching to get the BBS's on. Annoyingly it's the first thing I bought after buying the Lupo 1.5 years ago and they're still not on... Gotta love living far away from home
Thanks
I'm using 185/55/14. All is well!
I'll add just a couple other pictures, seeing as you liked the new winter wheels
Sorry to bring up this topic after a while of inactivity. Hope this message gets to you.
I’m picking up a GTI in a couple weeks and my current Lupo has a set of starlites that I’d like to use as a winter wheel.
how did the GTI run on 14s, how much space was there between the alloy and the break discs, and did you use spacers, if so what size?
many thanks dude. Clean car!

So after month's of looking at GTi's and seeing multiple dogs come and go, this gem of a GTi popped up.
The Car isn't pefect but it's a little project for me and it ticks a lot of boxes at the end of the day
- Sunroof
- Air Con
- Switches and Looms for heated Seats (Despite not having Heated seats - I'm on the hunt for a clean set)
- 6 Speed Box
- Mostly standard
- Full service history
A few years ago, the car was stripped and turned into a track car, however, speaking to the owner of the guy who stripped the car, he claims the car was never put on a track as he needed to sell the car to get some money. This meant that a lot of the nice, rare parts had been lost. The heated Seats, Sunroof rails?! black Sunroof Switch, Headliner, genuine suspension, Leather door cards, etc. However, the very nice bloke who I bought the car off of had spent the last year and a bit restoring the car to as stock as he could. The car has now ended up in my hands and will be a project for me to restore, but I'm always up for a challenge!
I will upload some pictures of the car shortly 🙃
