    Wheel size?

    Hi, I've seen some nice wheels 15x6 , with an ET+45 offset. 4x100.

    I am running coilovers too.

    Regardless of the centre bore, will these fit/ ride OK on my Cab?

    Been looking at wheels for ages and haven't found much.

    Unsure what tyre size to put on either.


    Any help would be appreciated..

    Probably not with your coilovers - standard struts would work fine.

    You would normally run a 195/50. Some mk1 peeps would run smaller, but a 195/50 is the stock rolling diameter.

    Nope, you'll need a spacers to bring it down to around et30-35.

    Depending on ride height (and final offset) will perhaps determine the tyre you'll need/want. 195/50 would be a stock size, however a 175/50 might look a bit better (less side wall buldge) etc, depends what 'look' you're after.
