Steffan Alloys!
Hi All
I new to this site so firstly i'l introduce myself, i have my first mk1 1983 16V GTI, have preivously had 4 mk2's and still have my rallye.
It fairly standard except for a few stuble engine mods and oh its purple
Just one quick question, will Steffan Cup 14 9x14 ET20 fit on a mk1 without any Modifying?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

9x14 ET20
I seriously doubt it!!!!!!
7x15 ET25's stick out far enough to catch both front and rear arches if low enough, so with a 5mm reduced offset resulting in over an inch more protrusion on the outside of the rim, I don't think you have a hope in hell!!!!! :twisted:
Rear arches will need rolling and probably flaring quite a bit. front arches will need the same treatment I'd imagine.
You'd probably get away with it if you go for the 4x4 look…

Settling In
I had 8x14 et 25 and they never caught a thing on standard arches! I was lowered on coilovers too. 7x15 et 24 caused me much more hassle than the 14's ever did. Fit 195-45-14 or 185-50-14 tyres and you wont have a problem. With 9x14s you will probably have to fit wider tyres though. Talk to Styledynamix. They are used to fitting ultra wide wheels and tyre stretching on various VW's. I wouldn't go wider than 8's on the front though.
