Jnathan Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just wondering if anyone has ran 14inch wheels on a Gti or even if its possible with the clearance on the calipers ? If so anyone have any photos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaparana Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I run 14" e30 bottle tops with the stock brake set up on my GTI when using gravel tyres Edited April 7, 2021 by imaparana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 MK2 GTi uses 256, as do sports and TDI lupos. They all run 14". Kam once ran 13” but had to shave calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnathan Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nice one thanks guys im tempted to source a set of rsl cults but very rare in 15 inch also dont want them too wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szrdave Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Useful info for me too. Definitely want a set of standard wheels for mine, but I reckon a set of 14s with a bit more sidewall would also look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgang Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 My GTI runs most of the time on 185 / 55 R14 80 T tires and has 6Jx 14 ET 43 rims. It is an economic decision. I use it as a daily drive to work. For "Sunday" I have some Bathurst with 205 / 45 R15 81V. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
