Hakster Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Hi all,I'd like to start a thread where people can post what wheels they have fitted to their Lupo/Arosa. Not just normal wheels, I'm talking wide wheels, wheels with different PCD's and strange offsets so people can get an idea of what is possible and what just doesn't work.So please post the following items to make this thread useful:Wheel Size (e.g. 15x8)Offset (e.g. ET20)Tyres (e.g. 195/45/15)Any adapters/spacers used & if arch rolling was required to minimise rubbingPicture of the wheels on the car showing the stanceIf you have any suggestions of what other information would be useful please let me know and I will add to the above list.This thread will be very useful for me once we have a few examples of the wider fitments out there as I currently have a set of wheels which I am contemplating.Get posting!

All arches rolled. The car is pretty low imo. Oh and -1deg of camber on the rear.Rear:Front Edited May 24, 2012 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Good idea, I doubt it will stop threads asking about fitment though.Personally on 15x7, for rear flush fitment you want to be at et15 with 165/50's with around et25 on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yassa Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 13x7 et -7 195/45's all round, slammed, front arches rolled but does rub under hard cornering and rear arches rolled and flared s**t loads and lots and lots of camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulley Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Look scotty, i searched and found it!!!!Although im still non the wiser, im looking at getting some minilites, the lupos 4x100 (i know this bit) what i dont know is what offsets fit the lupo, whats the minimum and maximum offset for the Lupo?I want 13x7 on the front and 13x8 on the rear.Im going to put the cheap coilovers on and drop it to the bottom.I dont want my wheels to poke out from the line of the car (i dont think this will happen, or not much) Edited June 17, 2012 by Zulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Depends on the wheel sizes to the maximum and minimum offsets.Most minilites are low offset so they will more than likely poke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Wheel Size - 5.5J x 15Offset - ET45Tyres - 185/55 r15Other information: No spacers needed - used standard wheel bolts. No rolling of arch needed. Trimmed inside lip of rear mudflap where it fits around body panel to give extra clearance.Wheels were originally fitted to BMW Mini ONE. They are called "Imola" - they are a lightweight alloy wheel at 12lb per wheel.Had to bore the hole centre out to 57.1mm. Centre caps pop out and take a standard 50mm VW badge.Here are a couple taken with the phone to give you an idea.
