Ideal Wheel Size/Setup
I am looking to put either 14 or 15 inch wheels on my Golf and am unsure on what thickness of tyre is best for the front/back.
I plan on putting an 'odd ball' steel on that is a 15/6 or 14/6. The rear will be banded but not sure what size I can go to. Further to that would it be best to leave the front at 6 wide? The car will be lowered as far as I can comfortably get it and the tucked look is prefered.
Can anybody shred any light on this?

will fit straight in without adjusting on my golf?
I am currently running with stock wheel. 175/70/R13 front, 165/65/R13 rear (from previous owner) steel wheel. nothing modified.

main thing is you need to find out the offset of the wheels so you know how they sit, and if you have any room for spacers
might be stamped on the wheel somewhere, you have xxJ wghich is the diameter (so say 7J for 7" wheels) and ETxx for offset, so ET35 is a 35mm offset. the higher the number the further in towards the shocks they sit, so a 10mm spacer would change the offset of 35mm wheels to 25mm
