standard ride height wont rub, although my personal opinion is that 15s look better sized. mk1s with massive wheels dont go imo....

I agree with that, 15s are as big as you need to go on mk1s.  :smiley:

I used to have 17's on my cab, they looked ok in their day, but the 14's look so much better IMO.

Oi Dinx - are you going to lower that monster truck of yours, or are you planning on putting some 20" spinners under those arches?
