Sure these have been asked a thousand Times before. I've tried the search thread but keep getting people's build threads that I lose myself in for a couple of hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Ok question one. What are the largest width of wheel that will fit under standard arches? Also my car is a 1.7 which I want to upgrade. I grew up in a family that all had old beetles and my first car was a beetle with a 1.6 twin choke carb. Am I better to upgrade the 1.7 or go for something bigger. The cars only going to be a fair weather car here in the UK. Thanks Chris |

Thanks Chris Yes 205 is sensible and provides a good amount rubber on the road,you live in the land of the Minilite wheel,IMO these are one of the nicest looking aftermarket wheels around. Haven't checked their website but I would say they would stock a wheel with the correct offset for your car. |
