New wheel manufacturing company...

^^^^ depends on the look you're going for though.. Down and out = no to 16s

fair play to this guy joining the forum to answer questions.. at least he has sometihng to say about his company.. and willing to prove himself..

Not really, you can get a mk3 as low on 16"s as 15's with the right offset and tyres.

I'm not sure whether I'd go for 15's or 16's.  For wheels that wide I suspect 15's would need a lot less work to accommodate them.  I've not really seen that many mk3's on wide 16's, most of the ones I've seen in person that are down and out are on 15's (which in itself is a reason to go for them I suppose).

I know from previous experience though how much difference jumping from 15" to 16" can make when running a super low car (driving perspective, not looks).



I was going to leave the above sentence as 'one inch can really make a difference', then realised the company I keep on here and decided against it.

Tyre sizes make a difference, 195/50/15 and 195/45/16 work out about the same in rolling radius, so 16"s will be ok and also were a factory fit on anni's

16"s on a mk3 are fine, 17"s can spoil them however.

But you put in anyway?! 
Yeah they are nice wheels

[Jimmy Filth]

17's are too big on mk3's.  How would tyre stretch affect the drop?  Is there an equation somewhere?  surely a 195/45/16 on a wide wheel would have a different radius to a 195/50/15???

I'm not disagreeing Wayne, I've just never been able to work it out.  If a 16 would fit I'd probably go with that.


Although this is elementary as the wheels don't yet exist

What Kitty Cat really meant was, even with the extra inch it would still tiny..

you know what they say, looks like a needle, goes like a sowing machine
