if you want to go really low then go 15" wheels like the ones in my sig pic. alot of people go 16" as its the best size to fill the arches and have a low nice stance but still be usable everyday

i am now going 16" on my new project

I had 16's on recently and was lowered 80mm but I have just changed to 15's and have had to raise the car as they were rubbing on the rears.

16s with the car sat as low as you can on them looks perfect and isnt too impractical. 16s fill the arches well and its still sat nice and low, ill get a picture of mine tomorrow

on my old car i had 15s slammed which did look awsome but was a twit to drive anywhere. and was a different car so 15s didnt look small on that, think they might on a golf

Have seen them on a mk3 they only really look good if colour matched to the car.
