im totally with 16's and will probably never get another size, think they look just right not too big not too small and the arch gap looks perfect with a -80mm drop :)

Do steffans come in 15's?? Personally 14's are too small, as if you look at SteveB's car, its almost on the deck with a fair arch gap. Basically, it'll be tough for him to remove the arch gap, as he'll be on the deck. It looks good, but i prefer less gap in the arch.

15's are best on a mk4, 15's/16's on a mk5 are best

I wish it was my car but its not, pics are from ebay.

The only other thing to get rid of the wheel-arch gap would be bigger tyres, but with steffans I'd definately go low profile and stretched.
