jamiea7x Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 could get away with 17's with a 165/35 offset would have to be perfect tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Is there a reason you want the biggest wheels on , why not proportionate ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graceface Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 i just want ones thatll look the best really.but not huge like. my car came with like standard VW 12/13s i think, and they look rubbish :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 So you didnt even want to know the biggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 could get away with 17's with a 165/35 offset would have to be perfect thoWhat a stupid choice of Tyre size... 205/35 or 195/35 would be more appropriate but you wouldn't be able to go over a 7" Wide rim.

Deadmetal Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Most people run 14/15s.People who are stupid low usually run 13s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Thomson Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i thought these would look pretty safe but im not sure what size/colour i have those wheels in 15" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperWeight1 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Look at the top model, what size wheels do they run? There's your answer as to what looks best IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bithmeister Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 ran 17's on mine for a few weeks when i first got the car years ago was waiting for my bbs's to be referbedthe offset was quite high et40 and the tyres were 205/40/17there was no rubbing what so ever and the ride was surprisingly very good no where near as good as 15's but not bad all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 17's work on a GTI, if you get the right ones. (Atleast I hope they will) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Biggest size alloys would be some 18" with Nankang 165/35-18 rubber I would think, they are the same diameter as stock wheels.. If you can find narrow enough 18s to fit a 165/35 tyre.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 looks sh*t... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 fit whatever you want but i always think the key to making a car look nice is how it sits (stance). pretty much any car looks good low but obviously the smaller the wheels the easier it is to get low.although, everything is subjective and totally a matter of opinion so just do what you want and enjoy it.
