Hi all,

As the title suggests this is yet another 'will they fit 'question, this is for a 90 gti cab

I've been offerred the following but am pretty sure these will not fit. The car is on air ride so some compensation is possible, also need the 16" wheels up front as I'm running wilwood 4 pots

Fronts 7.5J ET37 195/40/16
Rears 9J ET20 195/40/15

Any help would be great. I've tried looking through the forum and the varying external links but I'm still confused!

The front should fit, the rears probably not without bodywork. Of course it all depends on ride height and clearance of the suspension etc. I run 195x50x15's on a 7" et 28 and with the rear arches rolled I still get an odd rub over big bumps. No problems on the front.

My New Year's resolutions are: 1. Stop making lists. B. Be more consistent. 7. Learn to count.

Your car, your choices, but surely smaller dia wheels on the rear would look stupid.

The absolute Guide to Wheel size comparison on the Golf.

I agree that two different Sized wheels would look odd, and make rotation a chore.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?
