can't help here mate, but i was intrigued to see what rims you're going for??

I take it they're 15s and running on something like standard tyres??? Or 205/40 15s

hiya andy its saj.im glad to say im not sellin me car now.what wheels were you looking to put on? if your gonna be sittin tha low you wana be runnin a fairly high offset.the standard vw wheels are et35 but remember the wheels 7" * 15".

if your changin the wheels you wana stay between et 30 to 35 n bout 7" * 15. coz if you go for a wider wheel siitin tha low your gona get arch rub but at the same time if you go for a lower offset wheel eg et 20 or et 15 you r wheels are gona sit out further. i.e closer to the arch hence rubbin again

im looking at the Keskin KT4's

and getting the centre's sprayed black! the smallest they do is 16X7.5 but you can pick between offsets, ET35 is avalible. sooooo glad your not selling your car! is the turbo going on???? please say it is!!! the main problem is that i want to stay low! and if i get ET35 the brembo's will fit under them when i get around to it

I take it you own an angle grinder

That's gonna be one hell of a tight fit

The outside diameter of the wheel will end up the same as now! Because I am reducing the tyre profile
