No one. They are sh!t
I'm sure surcalation is (its up for sale)
If you get the right tyre, you can have same rolling radius as a 16" wheel (with rubberband tyres)

these are either 17's or 18's cant remember where my link is to the write up....that is hot as my postman feet after ive finished my round!
ive seen some wheels a i want, but there 17's..7.5j but offset of 13
thats what im talking about! serious poke mate, arches pulled, wide arch!
rear wouldldt be to much of an issue to get to fit, but front?, lmao!

lol always the case isn't it?
do some home made arch rolling, angle grind slits into the lip of the arch, then heat gun to heat up, slowly tap the slits in

haha snap, only 1 arch which is random
i'm gonna get them rolled, gonna cost £100 from Greg Howell (one the best in the scene for bodywork etc) get rears flared slightly, and maybe fronts, see what he thinks first
need to save for bloody lips first though lol

cheers bud!... as for the mk1, i nearly bought a brown one prior to buying the rusted out caddy.. probably made the wrong choice, but hey, the caddys are harder to come by... anyhow, il find out the outcome with the purchase of the wheels tonight, ishall let you know
I'm thinking of going for 17s next, found some perfect wheels at edition38 yesterday but there 17x8 all round! Want the rears to fit the same as my schmidts tho, 16x9 et5 and these have a rear et of 15, so how big spacers would I need?! Suj?!
yeah i nearly got a mk1 gti, but I was 20, and insurance was asking me to bend over
yeah let me know, you can get them to fit, you can make anything fit, I know someone running 10J on his mk1 golf (from my uni)
kyle, it looks like you will need about 20mm spacers (off my head)

Heres a picture of my car with the 17's i did have on it 205/40/17. I took them off though as the tyres are illegal all round but as for rubbing, it was too bad 17x7j. I did get 2 new tyres and tried them on for size 225/45/17 But the rubbed everywhere made it impossible to steer quickly and also rubbed off the bottom of the strut. Probably cause im lowered on springs with original dampers. ??? Bad idea.

not exactly rolling, but my car's parked up on a set of 7.5J lightweights at present
if i ever get round to dropping it i'll let ya know where it catches
they seem to be behave better than my old speedlines did though i'll admit

The offsets on those you want are going to be a big ballache. Unless you build wide wings at the front. On the back you'll probably get away with just rolling them.
