most people suggest not going any bigger than 16's as the ride can become pretty bad.... from what i've read. use the search, there have been quite a few discussions about it already.

17"s is the biggest, 18"s will fit with loads of work but look silly.

17's with a 205 tyre will rub slightly at the rear over harsh bumps and i think thats with an offset of 35 like mine...

i was gonna fit some 18's but i got slated on here for it.... they were right  :smug:

now ive just got some 16 mk4 bbs monty's 195/50/16's im gonna paint black....rides much better even with shoddy rear suspention mounts  :smiley:

.. 40mm springs with 17's or 18's will make it look like a 4x4. Stick with 15's or 16's, or buy some coilovers.

22" bently rims will look bicthing and fit sraight on with no need for spacers and fill the back seats 'i mean the arches' nicely

they look sick on my 8vavle and i even added a vr6 badge and now get an extra 55 bhp..... you get me
