Title: 13 Inch Wheels?
Post by: gossy on 09 September 2012, 21:57

Hi all, probably a really stupid question but just wondering what I would need to do to put on a set of 14 inch wheels, to my mk3, which is currently on 13 inch wheels, would I have to unlower my car or just get different tyres? Mainly because I can't find many 13 inch alloys, does anyone have these or do most use bigger alloys? Cheers

Do you have a gti or a lower spec golf?

You can fit 13" allys on lower spec golfs

13" 14" 15"

From the factory they all had the same rolling radius.

All specs have the same body and arches so as long as you stick to vw specs, you will not have any issues.

I think 13's look good on golfs! as long as its on its axle lowered though otherwise it looks odd.
