Red Lup Gti Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 i run 7.5'' wide 17''s mate, they do rub a little on the front but not to bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Andy welcome to the club.7.5" would be fine. I belive Cliffo has 7.5 front and 8" rear so 7.5 all round with 205s should be fine.How much are you wanting to lower the car?What ET are these wheels?They are 15s yes?

Adam Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Welcome to the club mate! what rims have you got or are you after? im just curious, i fancy some 16s for my gti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Ush Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I've got a set of 16's for mine, but there is sumthing wrong with them i think. They're either to wide or they're the wrong offset. The rims are running 215 tyres and I don't think I'll be able lower the front. I'm gonna try putting 205's or 195's on the front to see if I can sort the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
