depends on offset, rim width and tyre choice, but it is possible. a 6j wide rim with std'ish offset and 165/50s will go on without any scrubbing. do a search for mk3s on 15s cos the same principles will apply

all this ofset baffels me what do i need to be looking for ?

et38 is std, so best to stay close to that figure. there is a guide on here in the wheels faq page explaining it all!

With a wider than standard rim though, the standard offset could cause fouling on the suspension strut. 6J with 165s should be fine though.

Don't go higher than ET38, I'd say.

i was jsut about to post a topic about this. got a question.

i want g60 steels on my car. 15's, and was wondering if they'd be alright if i went either 70 or 80 low?

cheers

If it's the saloon in your pic, then G60 steels with 165/50 tyres SHOULD be OK down 80mm.

I have 15" 6J Rimms with 165 tyres a 40Ml drop and the wheels still look lost in the arches

Car needs lowering more or a lower offset.
