Trying hard to find reasons not to

18” wheels on a mk2

Has anyone run 18s on a mk2?

I’m thinking that 205/35/18 tyres is comparable to 195/55/15s in overall dimensions so therefore could work.

Yes it would be uncomfortable and probably tramline at every opportunity but...... 18s on a scirocco!!!!!![emoji7]

1983 GTI +

Here’s my first scirocco. I have bought it due to the spec with the thought process being mod it in a Restomod Stylee. My first plan was modern show style interior (leather/alcantara with modern seats and possibly a rear cage) colour coding, 17/18” wheels etc. That all changed when I went to view it. ...
