wide wheels on a mk1

[tb16v]

Hi there. Just wondering how wide I can go with a set of wheels on my new mk1 gl? Looking at either a nice set of bbs's or some banded Vauxhall wheels. Either 14" or 15" Will be fitting coilovers and want a nice low stance without running into arch problems.

Any info would be much appreciated :thumb:

Ive got 14" 5.5j astra steels on and they are close to the arches, if you want deep dish id advise on streched tyres aswell

I had 7s on my mk1 with 195/40s, albeit 16" diameter and the arches had been heavily rolled on the back. but it was -90mm

Here's how mine sits. Looking at changing it soon. Maybe more poke. Not sure

14x6 et13 rear has 20mm spacers so has a respective offset of et-7
