6" Rims on a squareback?

Hey all,

Is anyone else running 6" wide rims on a lowered squareback?

Has this caused any issues for anyone?

Cheers

Hay Im running 14 x 7 inch wheels with 195/65 14 they look shithouse and the rears stickout from the gards so lowering is no go. the front could come down but I would realy wont to run 15 inch rims the same as Gibbo.

Ive done a search but came up with nothing can anyone shed some more light on the subject.
Cheers Nige:thumb

No ones mentioning offsets????

hehehe offset...:P dont know sorry, my rims however are vw stamped..and they came with the car...so i assumed that they might be an optional extra...

hey nige...dunno what brand rims u running but it sticks out cus its an extra inch wider than what we're talkin...i got lower profiles on mine...but even if i had the 60's it would clear...unless i went offroad.or hit a mass pothole at speed,

I used to run 15x6 no worries - I think it was 100mm backspace

I had those 6" mags on the squareback before, but the rears were in line with the bodywork, so If I had lowered it they would have rubbed and rested on the guards.

Hmmm, is that the offset thing that Andy mentioned?
