Reply With QuoteI think 17's look good on a Mk4. It will handle and ride wheels too..

I didn't mean tyres wider than the rim, would like a 4x4 then! Just a vertical sidewall as the tyre was designed to run. If the profile is right then it looks fine.Originally Posted by GoLfMan
then it just looks wrong. I say NO to having MASSIVE tyres on a rim. Doesn't suit it one bit.
wide wheels with an agressive offset, a little stretch poke and tuck never hurt anyone

Depends on the wheel really. It's a combination of wheel size, tyre size and height of the vehicle.
I think for a Mk4 18" is about the sweet spot, but a good set of 17's can look magic.
(I think for a Mk3 anything bigger than a 17" is hard to pull off, the sweet spot being 16/17")

i get you now!
I stil maintain it has to be the right set of 17's for them to look good on the mk4. Plus you have to have the appropriate lowz to pull it off too

i think 17s are ok depending on the style, the stock bora 17s and wheels such as BBS RS look good (not just becuase i have them...) otherwise 18s you cant go wrong. depends on the colour and finish also, bright or machine finished seems to always look bigger in my mind

On Sydney roads in particular, 18"s would be a PITA.
The right 17s look fine. These for instance:
And the Bora Sports look nice too:
(Which I also happen to have a set of)...
Nothing to see here...
