They'd fit on your mk1 in terms of PCD, but they (in my opinion) don't suit it at all. They're a bit big for a mk1 and the design isn't flattering on a mk1. Also, depending on the look you want these would prob sit too far in (offset wise). I'm sorry I can't help you on what type these are, Rodney Jane Racing?

you can make anything fit! and yes thell bolt up

17's are getting pretty big. you'd have to run a really low profile, and wont be able to lower the car much. but they will bolt on. a 16 inch rim is pretty big on a mk1. whether you'll be able to turn your wheels is a different story.

I say do it and post up some pics!!

they do look good, but surely it puts a massive strain on steering components, ball joints, bearings, track rod ends etc.

Not to mention the already stiff MK1 steering.

I bet you didn't keep them on for too long...

[WABIT]

not really, they were only 7" wide with a ET40, the only effect it had was the rolling diamater, no bearings, steering components or ball joints were harmed in the making, and ohh i had them on for over 8 years
