Re: Alloys for a mk2 on coilovers
So I take it best think would be is to buy them as just wheels, put them on and measure the clearance to get the right profile ect. As you might be able to tell, I've never done this before haha!
Re: Alloys for a mk2 on coilovers
If you're running coilovers to go much lower than standard go for 195/45-15 rubber.
195/50-15 = correct for maintaining gearing etcetc but they will rub on arches unless you roll the rears and dispense with the front inner arch liners

Okay thanks a lot, I tak it there will be no stretch with 195? I'll take a pic oh how low it is later after my work, cheers for the help! Hopefully it will all be worth it and hopefully you will get to see it at some shows!

See my various project threads especially a16 gtx and check Bill posting up re his red gtx.
We both run 7x15 wheels with 45 series rubber.
