I would go for a change mate them wheels do look quite nice. I would go for 8.5j to be honest more grip but not too heavy steering Very Happy

Id agree with this but id personally go for the flat caps, i think they look cleaner imo, especially with the dish theyll have mate

they come in et40 so wont clear the brakes, they will need a spacer but even then its close with a 5mm spacer and doesnt leave much sat on the centre hub Wink

also are you sure bob A's will clear the big brakes you have??? I know they wont clear my 4 pots.

I had A's on my mk2, 9j all round and lowered, with g60 arches. they still caught occassionaly and completely killed the power stearing. Sadly have had to sell them now. Agree with volks1781, the flat caps look much, much better. To be sensible id say get staggered and have the 7.5's at the front but for looks, its got to be the wider the better.
check out deamonvwphotos (i think thats it) theres a whole database of pics of different wheels fitted to various cars so you can search for what you're after or get some inspiration.
