I have 14x8 with 195/45/14s on the front and 14x9 with 215/40/14s on the rear, The car is "slightly" lowered on FK coilovers, and the only problems I have, other than speed bumps, is the rear tyre clip the rear arch lip under heavy loads or big bumps in the road.

I know power steering is alot, considering I didn't even pay over ?800 for the car, but in the end I think it will be worth it....?!!. Might even be able to some day put 17 inch wheels on the car..... I WISH..!!!  ;D my arms hurt just thinking about that...

If any girl can drive a golf with 17" wheels with no power steering then I must have 18" wheels on mine cab then. It might mean the car stays in the drive way though....!!! hehe  ;)

I'll go and try out 15, 16 & 17 rims on the car over the next few weeks and I'll report back to all on my findings and I'll take pic's...

Managed to get pics of the Mk1 up on gallery if anyone is interested...? it's very standard at the moment but not for long..

LOL hehehehe.......!!!! Oopsss...  :)

yeah I like to keep the engine clean. That was before the head gasket went as well, the engine is in bits now... rebuilding it. It will look even better once completed.
