What size wheels?

[Tara:)]

i'm a new lupo owner and want to lower and put some nice wheels on her,

but i'm not sure what size looks best on a lupo?

Anything 13, 14 or 15.

Only problems is you have to be mega low to pull 13s off.

14s would be your best bet but alot more 15s are available, so your shout

16's with the right tyre size of 195/40/16 look good also especially on the GTI..............but it all comes down to the width (J) and the offset (ET) of the wheels you choose.

In my opinion; 14 or 15 look best on a non GTI Lupo.

...6 - 7" wide with an offset to fill the arches.

Thanks

i get a bit confused when it comes to off set?

i understand that j is the width but then whats the offset?

Read & read again, if you still don't get it drop me a pm .

Standard lupo steels are 38 offset but only 5.5j(?) wide

Something like 7j offset 30 would fill the arches nicely

Hope I helped, I like to think I'm useful sometimes

would i get away with 16 rh cups,8" wide with a offset of 25 with 165/40s on and arches on my gti?

Probably not, worth a trial fit though to see how much rolling is needed and how low it can go

[Tara:)]

looking at some 14's 7j with 37 offset,

would they fit?

165/40 on an 8 is mental! Mine on 7's were bad enough.
