15x8.5
I have decided on Work Equip 03's.
I am considering fitting 15x8's on the front and 15x8.5's on the back.
I wonder if anybody has experience in fitting these large width wheels to the mk1 and how you got on with them?
Does any one know what Offset ET the wheels will need to be for a good fit?
Also does anyone know what the best size stretched tyres to fit are?
Has anyone else on here got these wheels?
I understand I will need to roll my arches btw.
There was a yellow mk1 at the 2012 mk1oc AGM (where I won people's choice trophy!! Woop woop) that had a 6n polo16v engine and these work equip 03's on it. Does anyone have info or pics of that car?
Any and all advice appreciated and accepted. Thank you.
