You can also get a decent set of Bridgestones for around $110 a tire, so for around $1200 you can get a fantastic looking set of wheels with the perfect offsets.
    Any pics of your GL?

    Also, what tyre size goes on 15x8s? 225/45?

    You'd probably have to go narrower than 225 (depending on offset) so you get some "stretch", this allows you to run super wide rims and silly offsets

    I've spoken to my dad and mates, and they aren't really a fan of the small wide wheels, and prefer 17s. I know that style looks mad on mk3's, but maybe it's better to just take the safe option if I'm going to have the car for a few years.

    These are looking like the best option http://www.tempetyres.com.au/product...t=&part_no=202

    Any better 17s for the price that I should consider?

    edit: I love these OZ wheels, http://users.tpg.com.au/dextere/golf/fl.jpg, anyone know where I can get them? And is it possible to put the vr6 wheel flare things on a GL? Do they just clip in?

    i agree, i like those OZ but to look good on 17's you have to be at an undriveable ride height. seriously idk how you drive those things, i'm pretty sure theyre not on bags.

    Mine is on 17"s at a reasonably low height (not super low) and is quite driveable, just gotta get the right offsets etc.

    That looks exactly the height I want to be at. Does it rub at all? Would you say go 16s just in case?

    There's more choice for 17s as well on tempe..

    17"s were fine with no rub until I used spacers on the rear With no spacers they should be fine at that height, I'm running 205/40/17"s.
