Tigz™ Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 they'll fit but you wont go anywhere lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 They will fit but with a lot of work. I have 17's and am running about `80-85mm` lowered and it took a fair bit of work to get car to drive without rubbing.Still 18's have been done...ask LupoGaz on here. He used to have a `non-Gti` Lupo on 18's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_gaz Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 yeah been there done that... you will need et40's to get the wheels on i did it on the 1.4 on the eibach 45mm spings. but they did settle down alot. i think the tyres that i had where 195/35/18 or 205 i can't remember.. doesn't need much work doing to it.

lupo_gaz Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 the only mod i needed to do is in the inside of the arch where the platic guard overlaps the metal down at the bottom i needed to clip that down a bit.. yeah it was slower but looked sweet.
