    165/55/14, should fit nicely on the wheel and shouldn't cause you any issues with the rear arches.

First of all welcome to the forum.

The choice of mods is entirely up to you. However looking through the project threads in the mk3 section may give you some ideas. http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showforum=47

cheers will have a look

haha i was looking at them wheels theres a set on ebay for 280 pound

Yep a decent set can be expensive. For now I've just got some mk2 golf steels which will be going on soon. Until i can afford something else ...

As for lowering id say go 40-60mm. Seems to be a popular choice???

yeah thought about going 60-40mm but them i am changing from 13inch wheels to 14 inch does this matter??

Same here

Not too much, just bare in mind that 14s will fill the arches more

Worth it though

With the right tyres 14s will not fill the arches any more than 13s.

They're only "rare" because no one wanted them, I must have scrapped at least a dozen sets in back in the day :paranoid:

End of the day, do your car your way. Although do keep in the back of your mind what a clean, low mileage, standard 2f is going to be worth in about 5 years (here's a clue..... look at what mk2 prices are doing at the minute).
