Title: Anyone running 15" wheels?
Post by: zenicman9 on May 14, 2013, 08:15:48 am
As above really is anyone running 15" or is 16" the smallest?

Assuming you have a GTI then 16" is the absolute smallest wheels you can go for. Most (probably all) VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda 16" wheels should clear your calipers.

But 15" is just too small. Are you looking for winter wheels or just spares?

HTH  :happy2:

Depends on what car you have. :)

If you have 312mm brakes then you will need 16s to clear the brakes, if you have 280mm or 288mm you can put 15s on.

i have the 1.9TDi and i have just taken some 15s off to put on 18s, by comparison they look stupidly small, but they do the job, i wouldnt choose to go that small personally

My mrs has 15s on her 1.9 TDI Match. The plus side is a full set of Michelin fitted for 200 quid!
