We fit 165 tyres at work onto an 8" wide wheel for a guy who has a mk1 golf GTI, so I won't have any problems. Working at a VW garage has it's benefits!

My manifold being an inch off the ground is more worrying than 12mm extra width on the ET of the wheels.!

Thing is, the rims width/offset isn't as crucial as the tyres. The wheel itself isn't going to rub the bodywork, only the tyre. The Revo rims I have on now are miles away from the arch (more than 12mm) without tyres on, so I'm confident those new wheels won't touch the bodywork at all. Going for the 30mm smaller width of tyre will give MORE clearance.

Ha ha, it spins up with 195's on, so it can't be MUCH worse

The splitties will be show wheels only, i'm afraid. I'll be keeping the Revo's for normal use.

~Doooooooooooooooooooooooo it!!!!!!!

For show only, do it! and gold centres would satisfy my love for the contrast of gold and that green!

still an awsome car, and glad to see your making it your own mate and not listening to people telling you to leave it as it was

Took out the sub box and all the associated wiring (no interest anymore) and flogged it. Boot floor is still absolutely mint. The original spare has the original unused tyre as well!!
