New Wheels!
« on: 22 October 2009, 18:49 »
I brought these's of ebay



I am getting new tyres tomorrow 195/45/15 (Toyo Proxies) they are Porsche Cookie Cutters off a 944 and are 7" wide i have the adapters for them but was wondering if any one knows if they will fit with the car down very low??

Also if anyone else has these wheels on a MK3 can you post your pics please

Cheers guys



waiting for vento front end..............

I've never seen them on a Mk3 before, think they're best suited to old school cars, for example Mk1 Golfs and Caddys.

What width are your adapters and what's the offset of the wheels?

I have 7" wide wheels with a final offset of ET15 and the rears rub like a b!tch

Oh and another one going for a Vento front? :rolleyes:

In that case you can contest the ticket, you can take your car to a garage and get them to test it, they'll write on headed paper that your speedo is wrong, so the speeding ticket will get dropped :wink:
