    Your the man! They look sweet!

    Any ideas on the perfect rim-size + offset + tyre-size?

    Anyone??

    ET43 is the correct offset I think unless someone else wants to correct me? Whereabouts in Adelaide are you? I know the guys at bridgestone golden grove pretty well. Might be worth confirming the fitment? I'd suggest 16inch as being the best compromise for the car.

    Mk3 GTI/VR6 5-Stud 92>97 5x100 ET43 with 205/45/16 tyre size

    ET43??!!!!! Hell no lol!

    It all depends on what look your after.
    16s are an optimal size on a MK3, so a 16x8 +20 would sit very nicely, flush with the guards with a 205/40

    I run 17x 8 and unless the car is absolutely slammed (which is very rarely) they don't actually scrub. BBS is always a good choice of wheel though
    I'm going to the pub... I may be some time...

    195 or 205/40/17 on 17s. Depends on the offset on the wheels, where they sit in the guards and how low you are

    Any one seen the Lenso BSX rims? i want a set with black centres with a polished lips. I went to wheel worx yesterday and they told me they dont make them anymore... I got on ebay.uk and they can do me a set of 16" with tyres for just over $1000, but postage is gonna be a killer!
