What tyres have you fitted and what width are the rims ?
To keep the same overall diameter you will need 215x35x17 tyres. For width you will find that anything over 7.5J will catch.
It will be horrible to drive due to the lack of give in such a low profile tyre, causing snatching and tram lining.

Whats all the fuss about,? Loads of people had 17s on MK1s.... in the 90s.
Current MK1 rebuild elapsed time - 15 years and counting…
Is it normal to clean and paint bits of your car that will never be seen?
Not-so-new addition - 1996 MK1 Citi Golf (off the road for 4 years… and counting)

Here you go Dek.
That's a really nice looking car mate - I think everyone when hearing 17"s on a Mk1 imagines that it is a bit boy racer but that looks sweet.
It's a shame they're scrubbing.
I'm surprised by the 'haters' that have come out on this thread. I wonder if their cars are as nice?

just for the record im no hater or whatever etc. i think everyone can do what the want..i do.
that doesnt look bad though.
as gav says with the boy racer bit!
can you not buy with similar style wheels in 16"
or do you just want 17's
