Cheekymonkey Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hello allJust picked up my 1.4 sport lupo today. What size alloys are best to fill the arches once its been loweredIt has 14" alloys at the moment. I Have got a set of 16" bbs alloys just sat around at home but thinking maybe these will be to big?

Cheekymonkey Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thank you Just didnt want to go to big that I couldn't lower it nice and low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 id go for 20's...on a serious note 15's are usually good but 16's on a Gti. Look so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheekymonkey Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Was thinking 16's as gears on the lupo ur doing 4000 rpm at 70mphSo 16 may help out a tiny bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Was thinking 16's as gears on the lupo ur doing 4000 rpm at 70mphSo 16 may help out a tiny bitNot really as the rolling radius of a 195/40/16 is pretty much the same as a 195/45/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheekymonkey Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 True but I'm only running 14" at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe333 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 i think' 14's look a little small. Think 15's is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
