[Mk2] [Generic] Wheels, I have done a search!

Post by lightweightbaby »

Hey, Im debating some new wheels, I know this is quite a big subject and different people have different opinions but, what do people recommended for handling purposes, 16" or 17"? Or does it not really make much of a difference.

Also I know the car has a staggered offset??? Does this affect the choice of wheels much? Cheers.

go 16 with a 45 profile tyre

17 with a 40 profile is rather uncomfortable speaking from personal experience.

I have 16'' with a 45 profile and they feel good.

I have 195 on the front with 225 on the rear. I might try a 205 on the front next time but the car does seem to be nicely balanced. Maybe a 205 on the front will make it a little more tail happy.
