    wheels sizes

    standard size for GTi is 205/45R16 x 6.5

    Can i go 205/45R16 x 7?

    Cant found anything i like in that size (16 x 6.5)!!!

    And i dun want to go 17"...

    Also, does those offset matters?

    What is the offset on the standard wheels?

    yes 16x7 is fine, you want a 35-38mm offset, I have seen a few on ebay that fit the bill. Our std offset is 43mm but the UK has the same wheel with 38mm.

    this is a great offset calculator

    the michelin website http://www.michelin.com.au/tyres/pas...lotPreceda.asp
    says that for R16 205/45 tyre, you need a 6.5 to 7.5 rim width, with 7' being ideal
