I am planning on lowering it but it's not a priority......
At least my car isn't running on chopped springs!!
Aren't they illegal?

HELP IS AT HAND!!!

Say you were running std vw fit wheels 15 x 6 et35 and wanted 15 x 7 et28 the difference would be

Inner Clearance: -6mm

Outer Position (position of the outside edge of the wheel) +20mm

So we can gather that if a protrusion of 20 mm is still legal it is ok to order said wheels. If not start fabricating!

Cut springs are fine if you know what you're doing!

Ats cups 15x7 et 28 will fit your mk1
I have a set and if u guys in syd chuck one on and settle the debate. Although the guys are throwing accurate measurements your way it doesnt equate to when you put your wheel on. gaurd rolling is fifty bucks a gaurd if you need.Gti arches will make it look a little better too.
This thread had gone on a little too long anyone want to put it to rest theres only one way to find out.I have photos of my rocco with them on whick is mk1 chassis.
And whoever said they are a bit common may be in picture threads but not on aussie roads.. Get what you like for your car bro dont get too carried away with peoples opinions everyone has one.some forget
