Will Borbet As fit??

Hi everybody!

Just wanting some advice really, i am looking to fit a set of borbet As to my mk 1 gti cabrio, the car has been lowered and currently has 195/50/15s on.
The rims im looking at are the 9x16'' borbet As do you think they would fit?

Thanks all
Jonny

not without work! 8O

9" is just so wide for a mk1, I've seen it but it was with 14"s, 16" will make it even harder. Do you know what offset the wheels are? as this will make an important difference.

I think you'll have major trouble, it will require fairly serious arch surgery - not just rolling, but cutting, pulling and reworking… so it could be done but may get expensive!

7 1/2 x 16 on a mk1 is really really tight so 9x16s will be a bit mad,youll probably be looking at welding in arch repair sections and using coilovers with shorter springs(to raise the bottom seat) to get a bit of inside clearance as well,or using some form of group b arches like the german hillclimb mob although theyre usually designed for smaller wheels tbh

my 17 x 7.5 on my old 1600 was tight hence y i couldnt lower it very much at all.



oh has anyone seen it? i sold it to a guy from suffolk way.
