Howdy all,

I have found a set of wheels I want for the Mk5 GTI,

Problem is there 7.5x16 et 20 front and 9x16 et 15 rears, am I looking for trouble or at least going to need spacers to up the offsets?

Also what tyre sizes would people recommend for these size wheels to give a slight stretch (dont want nothing silly and something any tyre fitter can do :lol: )

Too wide at the back I guess. If you don't want too much stretch, get 195/40 at the 7.5 and 215/35 for the 9. But if were you, I wouldn't get 9J et 15.

9j wide on a mark5 would be ridicluous. especially with a low offset of 20. I perosnally wouldn't go wider than 8s.
