Title: wheel opinion 14 or 15' bbs
Post by: wilson on 27 May 2009, 15:09

I am currently looking for a cheap set of bbs ra's to have refurbished for my 16v...   

would 14's look too small on the big bumper model ??   I intend to go fairly low...

Anyone got any pictures of mk2 lowered on 14's ?

Thanks
Wilson

No way man, go for the 15's, I've got them on mine, and they are perfect.

I'm down pretty low as well, I can't even drive over a Coke can lying on it's side with out hitting it  :grin:

Wouldn't really want to go any lower to be honest.

I'll see if I can get a decent picture for ya.

thanks for the opinions guys...   I keep seeing 14's for sale just havent really seen them on a big bumper golf that I can recall,  thats more what pictures i'm after.

I prob will stick with 15's but was just a thought as I keep seeing 14's second hand for sale...   definately dont want the 16's in my signature...  they're not horrible but just not my choice, they were on the car when i bought it.

I thought 15's were standard MK2 RA's?

15'' RA's 195.50 tyre. Lowered 60mm. Looked hard

Another question to add: Is it true that RA's need longer wheel bolts? A mate says they do. I think they dont as they were standard wheels!

Hi i had been looking for some 15" bbs ra's for months i have only just got a set and it was worth waiting for the 15s i think they look just wright. 14s would be too small :smiley:

As far as I know 15's are standard.   I'll go for 15's not worried on condition as i'll get them refurbed before i sell mine on...  Looks nice mr blue
