ATS Cups on mk1 GTI

Nice wheels definately old skool but maybe a bit too old skool(getting a bit common)ET28 will go straight on no probs as will 7 inch wheels the fatter the better(get over it!!! tho arches may need rolling depending on ride height)

Without wishing to sound negative these wheels need looking after as the alloy isn't up to BBS standards. Then again keep it on the road and it's Kool and the gang. Oh yeah deffo et20 I know guys running 15x7 et25 with 20mm spacers. Looks tough as mate!

Cheers for the replies. I wouldn't think they'd be all that common over here would they? As for the alloy, yeah I'd be well careful with em..

About the offset, I'm still confused. Et20 sits out wider yeah? Am I gonna need to roll arches with that?

The lower the positve et the closer to the outside of the car. ET 25 with 20mm spacers becomes ET5. ET20 won't need rolling unless you slam it!

Ok cool, cheers for that. I want phat Golfness!

et 28 and 20 are going to hit the guards and ruin the suspension geometry.
Stick with et 35

Oh. Even without lowering it? How does everyone else run these wheels?

This post is about wheels on a mark 1 .People who don't read the beginning piss me off and I've tried those offset wheels too and they touch.My sons mk1 GTI has 28 mm offset Ronals and the guards have had the lip completely removed on the front and lip flattened on the rear.
Don't lead people up the garden path with your incorrect comments.
And as for mk2s I have 7 inch wheels on my GTI with 40mm offset and they touch going over speed humps.I do know what I'm talking about.
I could go to the trouble of proving it but I shouldn't have to defend the truth.
