Title: What wheel size fits my 94 Cabrio?
Post by: krhall on 12 April 2009, 17:13

I currently have Ronal R20's and they are 14" rims I think, but two of them have seen better days and need a couple of new tyres so it might be aswell to swap them out and get new rims.

Just not sure what fits. Have seen this:

PCD: 4x100/108 ET38 Multifit

Will these work?

Also can anyone use photoshop well enough to show me what they might look like?

ur cab will be 4x100 pcd and et38 is fine. (multistud looks tacky though) oh and 14's will look a little small on a mk3

Yeah the ones on there look OK but could do with filling the arches a bit more, what size looks best?

I have been looking at 16's but more 17's seem to be available and my car is a 4 stud one.

I had 17s when I bought my car and it tramlined like a b!atch! changed them for the standard 15s and no problems at all after that. I'd go for 16s - it's a good compromise  :cool:

Or just grind the arches back and fold them. They you can run 17's and be low low low.

I ran 17"s on mine for 6mths no issues, stick with et35 or above and you will be fine.

What does ET35 stand for?

http://www.potn.co.uk/p1003548.htm saw these in 15" they look nice and at £298 including rubber and locking wheel nuts not a bad price either. They are even offering 0% finance.

Et is the offset, 35 is spot on and yes will fit fine.

Will the 15's look too small though? Don't want to spend the money and then they look cack.
