dub18 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 14"Cheers matey, so 14s will go over the the standard front brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 i'm not sure. i should have said, thats my best guess. but i know that 256mm brakes normally go under 14" wheels, so unless calipers are a weird shape it whould be fine, but best to borrow some 14" from a friend of scrapyard to test it out.

Philplop Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah, 14's, but I'm sure Heartagram fitted some 13" Compomotive Turbo's to his Sport, which have the same 256mm brakes as the GTI. His calipers have been shaved though, and I think most 13's wouldn't fit.Here's Heartagrams thread, page 5.http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?sho...30770&st=80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 REALLY interested in this, how much has to be take off? noticed about 1/2"-3/4" of room in the standard 14's,DESPERATELY want 13's for shows etc.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 the sport has narrower 256mm discs to the gti though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 You can get certain 13" wheels over 256mm brakes. Compomotives are racing wheels so they have lots of space in them for big brakes. I think Mitch got some 13x8 Ally Cats over his 256's. Tramonts fitted over them aswell and hey are 13s aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 ah right, thats good to know, cheers heartagram,now i can keep an eye out for the alley cats ive wanted style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />anyone want to buy some ph1 ronal turbo's style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 There are some rare as you like 14" Ally Cats on E38. Think they are £450 freshly refurbed with spanking new tyres. Can't complain at that!I have a set of 13x6 ones knocking about, we tried them on my Lupo and they wouldn't fit without spacers. So I'm guessing it depends on offsets.

Kieron Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Why would you bother though. Only the non-gti loops can get away with 13/14" rims. The gti's arches and bodykit make most 15's look lost and it will have no presence on 13/14's as you won't be able to get it low enough to work and still be able to drive it. 15's minimum imo for a gti with skinny tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 They would have to be very wide to even nearly pull it off. stick with 15's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Personally I'd run a set of 15" Compomotive MO's on a GTI. Think they suit the car to the ground. Not very showy/bling wheels but I just htink they look pimp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 14x9"s on the rear of gti would look phat, end of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieron Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 14x9"s on the rear of gti would look phat, end of.Yeah but 15x9 on the back would look infinately better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah but 15x9 on the back would look infinately betterI disagree, if it was seriously decked on 14"s it would look silly phat 13"s would be better still. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieron Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 But like I said to make the wheel look good in the arch would have to mean air otherwise it would just look soft. Gti arches are considerably bigger than normal loops. Ordinarily I would agree that fat 13's would rock but even with the front bumper on the floor, you'd still be able to get a fist in the arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosCreepers Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Howdy people!My name is Reinoud, I'm from the Netherlands and I'm driving a 2001 Arosa 16V. The dutch Arosa-Forum couldn't help me with this so I hope you guys can!I want to know if I can fit 13s Smoor Roadster (7J ET14 front and 8J ET5 rear) on my Arosa 16V.I believe the 16V Arosa has the same 256mm brakes as the Lupo, so I'm asking for you help!Will these wheels fit over the brakes?Smoors + coilovers = p0rn!Thanks in advance,Best regards,Reinoud / LosCreepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
