MK2 mag size query
Ok so in short, I have a Golf MK2 GTi, shes bin dropped by 60mm and I just want to know if I'll be able to fit 16" mags on her, and with what profile tire. I'd prefer not to do any modification to the arches atm...

I love my ST, but I miss my Dub

Sorry I only saw you Q today. I haven't been online for a while now.
I don;t think there'll be a problem with 16s a on 60 drop Mk2.
Just make sure the offset is correct. 35mm offset is 100%, but I think you can go up to 45mm o/s.
I've also got a set of 16s which I planning to fit on my Mk2 with 60/40 drop
Mine is 16"
7.5j
35 offset
4/100pcd
I spoke to a few guys they said there shouldn't be a problem.
I know there is an online tyre size calculator that you can use, can't reemember the site name but I'll check & let you know if I found it. Also check on the calculator under TECHNICAL in the front page of this site. Might find something.
