stugolf Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Hi guys just wondering how well 7" wheels with at ET20 will fit on a Lupo Gti, 16" don't really want them to stick out too far as I want to run quite low Edited April 17, 2008 by stugolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Might get afew issues with rubbing both front and rear. I'm running 7.5x15 et25 and buckled my front arches badly!!7x16 et20 would be 1.5mm more inward than mine are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stugolf Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 You mean rubbing on the inside of the wheel? Would spacers help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 No rubbing on the wheel arch lip, spaces would make it worse!!The lower the offset the more they stick out. the stardard offset for the GTi is et43. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 These where my old wheels which are 7x16's et35. So the rims your looking at would be 15mm closer to the arch. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
