Thinking of putting wheels on your MK3? Post your questions & suggestions here.

I recently had the wheels on my mk 3 golf balanced and aligned at bridgestone and they told me I should get "centering plates" (or something like that) for the wheels as currently my 4 stud rims just sit flush against the hubs with only the wheel nuts to locate them. Is this necessary? Thanks

Hello,

I am looking for new wheels and tires and found a used pair for a great deal; I am wondering if they will fit my 98 golf gl

The tires are 205/50 on 17 inch wheels.

I am currently running 195/60 tires on 14 inch wheels.

Diameters: Old-23.21 in New-25.07in

Tire width: Old-7.7 in New-8.1 in

Same bolt pattern. I'm not worried about offset because I'm getting spacers regardless and the new wheels have a more positive offset than mine.

Whatchy'all think?

Get onto vwwatercooled for mk3 related info.

You want a smaller profile. 40 or 45

I got some lenso bsx', I was told they were 6/7jx15. turns out there 8j all round on 195/50 tires. I haven't got the car lowered, and I don't really plan to as I still need functionality.. will they still fit or are they to wide?

if anyone can help I would be rather grateful!

thanks
