Mk 2 8v wheels...

Hey guys,

My car is in dire need of some new rims but I'm not 100% sure what the correct/best size, offset is? The car is lowered about 40mm. i have a good idea what look i want, just don't wanna waste money on the wrong size!

By the way, thanks for all your help with the rallye/jetta headlights, you've given me some good ideas!

 

See ya soon.....

get your choice of wheel sorted first as this could affect what size etc you want. we had a poll on this earlier so if you have a hunt back through the old posts you'll see a few opinions, but i think on a mk2 the general concensus is 15"s, for ease of use you probably want 7" wide and offset is around et 35 i think.
if you run 195/50/15 tyres you should have no worries with tyre clearance.
any one else got any thoughts?

yeh ull b fine runnin as joe says,
mine was the same but droped 60mm n still ok, as long as u dident have 3 peeps in back even then it only just scaped cos it wasent the best of roads n i was in scumacher mode

get the arches rolled and you'll be fine. mine's dropped 60mm on 17x7's and it's fine even with 3 in the back

Thanks for the advice, the wheels I was looking at are Lenso RS5 and are 6.5x15. I've seen them for ?395 for the wheel and tyre package. What do you guys think?
