What wheels to fit a 16v Mk2?
« on: 13 March 2008, 13:00 »
Ideally I want to run some small 13" wheels on my small bumper valver but not sure what will fit, does anyone know? My initial ideas where some ATS classics but I'm worried they may not fit. If not can anyone recommend any 13" or 14" similar retro looking wheels that will fit? If none of them will fit I may just have to go for some ATS classics!

13 won't fit over the brakes of a 16v, 14 will

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

If its an early valver they will, as they had 239's.

Thanks for the replies. Mine is a 1987 Golf, does that mean it has 239? Is there an easy way to check without taking things off?

If it is on standard brakes then yes they will be the smaller brakes as found on the 8v   :smiley:

Coilovers
