    Hi all,

    Im looking to get some new alloys.
    I am not sure what wheel size is going to be good, i know alot of mk4's run on 18" replicas. Would 18"'s handle well with good tyres? or am i better off with 17".
    My car has been lowered also on shocks & springs 30 or 40mm.


    Thanks

    I think it will depend on what size tyre you go for as the arch gap mite look a bit big with 17's if your only lowered 30-40mm. you mite be better off with a nice set of 18's
