Hi there, I've got a Lupo GTi with 4*100 PCD and the max offset I think I can realistically go for is about 44-45 without having to grind my callipers, quite like the standard Polo GTi wheels but am unsure what offset and PCD they are, can anybody tell me!? I am right in saying they are 15" as well?

Cheers
Garg

The stock BBS GTI wheels are 4x100 @ 6J 15" ET 45. You shouldn't really have any problems fitting them, and if you do, you could consider running a (smallish) spacer to raise the ET a bit.

HTH!

I have heard that a lot of Polo GTi owners have had problems with corrosion setting in on these rims, if they are of a 2000 car and are ok at the moment, do you reckon that this could happen or is it something that has happened not long after cars have been new?

You're referring to Lupo GTI wheels, surely?

misread the first question!

the size i gave was for the lupo Gti, (gargoil has the car).

polo gti has 6x15"!

Figured it was something like that.

the tyres on the standard Polo Gti rims are usually 195/45/15 i think ?

yes they are, welcome to the forum btw!

205's should fit on the rims though? Shouldn't they?

205's should fit but ive stuck with the standard 195's on my GTi rims

Thanks for the welcome BTW

i think 195s are fine for the 6" wide wheels. going too wide means too much flex in the walls and handling worsens
