    What do you all think about Porsche 928 rims on Mk3 golf?
    Also how much to drop?

    Not really that into the modified scene - mostly due to time and money so never scene this done before. Is this combination a 'once in a while' or a 'common as muck'?

    What's the deal with making sure your clocks still read the correct speeds? I was thinking of having the same rolling circumference as on the anni (same diameter rims). Is the Anni's rolling circumferance the same as standard Mk3 GTI - just lower profile tyres?

    I'm guessing she'll need dropping a bit to complement. How much do you reckon? It still needs to be practical!

    Just really want to know what I may be getting myself into. :)

    Just run them on 205/45R16 or 215/40R16 tyres and you will not affect your speedo config

    Cheers Atlas & JonP for the Pics. Jury's out on whether I like them on or not. Tyre prices may be the difining factor as it will be a daily driver.

    They're not that bad to be honest start at about 45 plus for a budget...

    Remeber you'll need adaptors at around 200.00 to fit 5*130 to 5*100 pcd and to reduce the offset of ET52 to around ET35.
