15x7's on a mk3

Featured Replies

So I've got a pair of 15x7's coming my way soon but am unsure or whether to keep them or not, are they going to look stupid or cause me any problems, I'm currently at standard hieght but looking to lower by 40mm, is this too much?

Any pictures or suggestions would be great as I'm a complete noob (first car and I don't even have my license yet)

any wheel size within reason can look good, but there is a lot more to take into account than just the size of the wheel. offset, ride height and tires size are all important also

looks sweet, just got my ATS cups today, held them up against my stock steelies and they're the same size with the rubber on the cups being a lower profile, so should be fine :-D

I'll chuck a photo up once they're all fitted properly

My G used to run 7x15" ET20 Ats Cups a few years ago. Needless to say the handling was shocking even though it was only lowered 40mm on Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks (so good quality kit!) With 195/45/15 tyres and lots of arch cut away they used to catch all the time.........
