WHEELS..............WHAT SIZE
hi, i'm looking to buy some more wheels for my 1988 cabby gti, thing is their is loads I like from bbs style to ats cups. what I need help with is the size, I currently have 14" castellets fitted but I'm not sure what size to go for, im thinking 15" but not sure about the width 7j or 8j, I quite like the wide stance look and the stretched tyre look but I'm not sure about the problems with rubbing arches etc.
My car is lowered by 40mm from standard by the way.
So any help with what size, ET, j.
thanks rob.

7x15 is plenty for a mk1, any wider and you will have rubbing issues.
keep the et(offset) about 35 ish and you'll be grand.
tyre size makes a great difference, 195/45 will probably rub a little, 185/45 probably won't.

ok cheers, looks well. I think I'm going go for 15" x7, with 185/45/15 for a bit of the stretch look or 15" x 8 for a very stretch look, just don't want them to foul on the arches. is the car in the pic lowered. as mine is by 40mm, thanks.
