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 wouldnt go any bigger than 16' on a Mk3 but that is just me...

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.
