Found some wheels that I'm interested in from an MX5. Would a 7.5 inch rim fit a golf mk1 or would it rub on something? Plan to use with 195/50-15 tyres

I would double check on a tire calculator so you can see your current setup vs your new proposed setup. I just bought 15x8 rims with 20 offset and 195/45/15 tires for my setup. I might get 10mm spacers too though. Will have to wait and see. I've got coilovers too.

Just check the centre bore size, I think it is possibly too small on a Mazda compared to the 57mm Golf size.

Yeah Center bore is too small.

It's fine thanks guys, gone another way now. Got some BBS RA and I'm going to get the offset corrected to fit a Golf (from ET33 to ET38).

Et33's are they 14"? BMW?

Yes 14" I think they are Audi 80 ones. Seen very few with the correct offset for sale.

I assumed most 80's were higher offset than that, usually 45 odd. 

Regardless 33 should be fine, are they 6 or 7 wide?
