wheels

Whats the biggest size wheels possible to get on a mk2 gti? H plate, 1990, without any modification? it's all standard at the moment.

And should they get changed or keep the BBS's?

depends what you want? is it lowered? you can fit 17's i think if its standard ride height but it would look crap as hell!!! like a feckin monster truck.

most people would say stick to 15's. what sort of bbs are they?
