nfbr Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nah, that was about 17's on a GTI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty. Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yeah but 17s on a GTI looks the same as 17s on any other Lupo really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yeah but 17s on a GTI looks the same as 17s on any other Lupo reallyWRONG...Both the rear arches and the Front wings on the GTI are radically different to those on a Non GTI car.

nfbr Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I know that.. hence why i said 'really'Im dropping, off yer highhorse If someone says "a bonnet looks the same as a bootlid really" then your instant thoughts are that the person having said it doesn't know the difference between the two... Fair enough its frustrating when a newb asks a question that's been asked a million times before, But for a start, The guy has asked a pretty un-common question and to finish it off, you're just a newb yourself...GTI's on 17's look OK. A little on the large size but not excessive. A non-gti on 17's however will look a little daft as the wheels will be verging on Huge.

Matty. Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Also, im hardly a newb?Yeah only owned it since feb but whos to judge?That car on cardomain does look a bit rollerskate-ish, although i dont really like 17s on a gti. 16 is ideal for a gti and 15 on any other to get stance perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Also, im hardly a newb?Joined: 15-January 09No mate You joined two weeks before the guy asking about the 17'sThat car on cardomain does look a bit rollerskate-ish, although i dont really like 17s on a gti. 16 is ideal for a gti and 15 on any other to get stance perfect Yes, That's what I mean about the Major difference between GTI and Non-GTI when it comes to 17" Wheels.This puts my point across quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty. Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Someone could have joined yesterday and know more about Lupos more than you for all you know? Ive got more posts than him too, and whats it for you to know what knowledge i have and dont have? I could work for volkswagen for all you know, i dont but still dont judge so stubbornly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 185/35/17 on 17x7s et35 will be overall near as anything to stock wheels and shouldn't catch. have a play on http://www.willtheyfit.com and if you buy tyres through it I get about £1.

Jowey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think 17's are possibly too large. Although nankangs 'lakcy band tires do add new options/Cobblers do you have any photos of you trial fitting the Audi wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 indeed I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Way to big in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Good stuff/ I like it/The only thing that bothers me is the gap between the bumpers and the floor/A lot of effort but well worth doing.EDIT: I find that MK2 Arosa's pull of the big wheels better than Lupo's and Mk1's because of the slightly different shape of the rear bumper.

Doey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think if you coud tuck them and get the body of the car lower it would be alot better but just doesnt look like its possible.I think 16s max on a lupo But each to there own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 15 on any other to get stance perfect BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-random Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Depending on the style of wheel you're going for in a 17" it could work. cobbler's car is a good example of a non-gti pulling off 17's on audi TT competition wheels.there was a silver GTI on porsche turbo twist 17's aswell which looked pretty cool, and mark2ikeda's nissan grey GTI on works VX wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
