13's look f**king ridiculous and won't fit over GTI brakes anyway. Even if they did the gearing and speedo will miles out without having to use tractor tyres.

Agree'd but the right set of 14's could look good...

Do 14's fit over gti brakes?

Nope 15" minimum over 280/288mm brakes, with 14" the biggest you can use is 256mm brakes
