gucciwah Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) whats the offset? go on to fast car site and look at their lupo they built.they've got 15x8s on theirs. however not sure of the offset.also depends on how low you go and the tyres you put on them. maybe you'l need some camber but it should be fine if done right.what wheels are they anyway Edited November 16, 2010 by gucciwah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben™ Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 8J will rub and you will need arch work both front and rear! What about tyres? Offset?Plenty of people run 15's... I think it's probably the most common size for a Lupo tbh!Some that may interest you?G60s, BBS RM/RS, BBS RX2s, Borbets, Teledials, Castellets, Bathursts.There's stupid amount of wheels out there and everyone has different tastes so Anyways hope I helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 If you have a big budget why not get the wheels you want and then make the car fit them?Im looking at getting 8j wheels myself and I reckon you could prob go to et15 with rolled arches on 195/45 tyres.If they dont fit you can roll and pull your arches and/or fit smaller tyres.

gimpson Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 There is no one around me where i live where i can get my arches done though got some fk highsport coilovers that go down about 100mm so wouldnt mind some 14 inch alloys to go pretty low with some streched tyres on them or some thing. do you know any site for good alloys mate?

Philplop Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 There's not a lot of choice in 12" tyres though!165/60/12 is pretty much as small a rolling radius as you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 15x8 with et15... i reckon you may be able to get away with 165/50 and no rubbing. If you had your arch lips rolled i dont think it would be an issue at all with them tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpson Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) I want the car on the deck though 14 inch is the biggest i would go probs and they have to have a lip or dish on them, like there isnt many speed bumps where i live so i am sweet. just alot of the sites i have been looking at alloys on are complete rip of anyone no any good sites please? many thanks Edited November 17, 2010 by gimpson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yes, dependent on offset + it will look crap unless you lower it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisshad Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 hi ive been offered 15 inch alloys for my vw lupo. i was wondering if they would fit if i got the right spacers and low profile tyres ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 What offest, width and how low are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 15" with 195\45\15 tyres are the best. You'll need more details like width and ET though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manwito Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hello All,Bringing up the topic: Does anyone know if 15R 8J alloys with +30 offset will fiit standard 1.4 TDI Lupo (not lowered).
