    His car still has the 8v in it, and will do until it gets sprayed, then he's dropping the 16v in...

    So as to not start a new thread, I'll ask here.

    Just bought some 15 x 7 offset 13 EXIP's.

    How much should I expect them to stick out of guards?

    Cheers

    They'll be close to flush at rear with 195/45s and a few mm out at the front. 185/45/15s would be a good tyre choice as the load rating is actually safe for a Mk1

    You'll need to fold the guard lip, and then it may well be ok. 195s will probably be an issue, though.

    It was sweet, no issues. Pretty stiff suspension though. Had to sneak over speed humps.

    Cool. 185's is what we'll most likely go for but we are after a very stretched look so maybe even 175's (if load ratings permit).
    Rears will most likely get spaces if it'll only sit flush with the guards and maybe fronts aswell if its only afew mm stuck out.

    I'll wait untill we get the wheels to confirm though. Thanks for info guys!
