| Hi, im wanting to put some 13" wheels on my mk3 golf but im not sure what size tyres to get. I have just ordered some coilovers and plan on lowering the car quite a lot when I recieve them, so I dont want too lower profiles on the wheels but at the same time I dont want some massive looking tyres. Any suggestions as I dont really have any idea lol. Cheers *edit, forgot to say, they are 5.5j  | |

| not sure on what size to go, but your gonna have to lower it loads to get it looking good on 13s. So much it might not be practical. | |

| 13s on a mk3 golf is gonna look crap.. even with a good slam to get rid of the arch gap which will then be probably undrivable. no less than 15s on a mk3 in my opinion save 13s for mk1s | |

| i think 14s can look awesome, but only if theyre wide and the car is decked. | |
