most people suggest not going any bigger than 16's as the ride can become pretty bad.... from what i've read. use the search, there have been quite a few discussions about it already.

17"s is the biggest, 18"s will fit with loads of work but look silly.

17's with a 205 tyre will rub slightly at the rear over harsh bumps and i think thats with an offset of 35 like mine...

i was gonna fit some 18's but i got slated on here for it.... they were right  :smug:

now ive just got some 16 mk4 bbs monty's 195/50/16's im gonna paint black....rides much better even with shoddy rear suspention mounts  :smiley:

stik sum 22's on it bruv, iv seen sum on dis propa nice bmw and dey look sik, dey wud propa fill ur arches n look propa pimp yo




.. 40mm springs with 17's or 18's will make it look like a 4x4. Stick with 15's or 16's, or buy some coilovers.

I wondered why I was so attracted to 40" wheels!
