288mm Brakes require 16" wheels

Mk3 VR is 288mm and 15"s will fit over, is the offset different then
maybe confused with 312mm?

312mm needs a minimum of 16", I am sure 15"s will fit over the smaller brakes.

Wayne you are correct i made a mistake sorry jamie16v

I even wrote it on the 312mm brake thread  :grin:  :embarassed:

Im running mk3 gti alloys whilst i strip and polish my tt comps and buy a new set of tyres  ready for the nicer weather aka no salt on the roads!  :sick:

15 inch rims  with 50 profile tyres look stupid on the mk4 but they are function not form!

Tiny wheels on a tdi130 is funny in the wet, you can't boot it any where!

Plus side you could hide watermelons in the arches if you wanted to   :undecided:
