Crazyspeedfreakz Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi peeps I have a 2001 lupo tdi sport and have seen some alloys I want, well actually be waiting bloody ages for them and have found a set for sale and just had a few questions regarding fitment..They have tyres fitted but think they may also be abit on the big side and I don't want any issues first of the alloys they are : 15 x 7j et35 From what I've read on verious pages I thing the fitment should be ok I don't want them rubbing on the arch or hitting the shock so just need conformation.Secondly and where I think there will be issues is the tyres that are fitted are 195 x 50 x 15 ..... Would this tyre size be a issue...I will be fitting coilovers at a later date but for now the standard shocks are fitted. Any help would be greatly aprechaited ?

Silver! Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 6J x 14” Offset: ET43 185\55\14 The diagram on the right (in "willtheyfit") shows the difference in shape and profile, so you should be able to get a good idea if it's going to rub. Not sure about the 195\50\15 on a non GTI, but I know they rub on a GTI if it's lowered; even just a little. 19\45\15 is what you want. S!

mattarosa Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm one 195/45/15 on 7j wheels, no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=185&aspect=55&diameter=14&wheelwidth=6&offset=43&width2=195&aspect2=50&diameter2=15&wheelwidth2=7&offset2=35#contentThey will stick out a bit further according to that and be slightly taller rolling diameter.45 profile is closer to standard than 50, but if the car isnt lowered much they will probably be fine.

S!The lupo isn't lowered at all atm but will plan to at a later date maybe I will just buy the alloys and the sell the tyres at a later date And just get some 185 to be sure I think from what I remember been told 165 is a big stretch and 185 is non stretch is that correct...So if I didn't want stretch I would need ?? 185 x 35 or 40 x 15 is that about right .....When u say they rub on a gti if lowered where abouts is it rubbing shock or arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not lowered at all at the moment ideally wanting to fit some coilovers later next year maybe once it warms up but I have been waiting for these alloys for some time, the tyres are Basicly new and a good brand just a shame the tyres are slightly out fitmen wise....

Crazyspeedfreakz Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The tyres that are fitted are yoko parada spec -2 ..... As said Basicly new, so think it's a shame not to use them but if I have to go smaller to be able to drop it in the future then I will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparkes43 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 i went from a 5.5 j x 13 to a 6.5 j and they fit fine with 195-45-15 i was told any other size and i might have problems even on stock suspension. i think you will be ok on the rear but the front might poke a little.

rrdoctoruk Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 195 50 15 is fine,they will be ok on the back but may rub on the front plastic wheel arch on full lock,i have them on mine and they are ok,if you are lowering then go for the 195 45's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annavr6 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have run 195/50/15 on G60 steels on my TDI, its on coils it did rub a little but its quite low, nothing major though. You will be fine on stock suspension and even coils depending how low you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or or comment on my initial question Plllleeeaaasseeeee helppppI've just Google'd exactly what you wrote and got the answer to the standard wheel dimensions right at the top of the page. This shows the wheel variatons, but the 6J Sport wheels were also on the TDI...In fact, someone has covered the topic on CL before...http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/62941-information-lupo-oem-standardaccessory-wheels/So with this information, you can just type your current setup and new setup into www.willtheyfit.com and see what difference the new wheel makes. It not only shows how much bigger/smaller the new wheel is and how this might effect rolling diameter and you speedo, it also shows you if the wheel sticks out from the arches more/less and if it is closer or further from the suspension strut.
