Edition 30 Wheels/Brakes
« on: December 14, 2010, 08:43:31 pm »

What are the smallest sized wheel that will fit on the Edition 30 with the standard set up?

What is the offset of the standard wheel?

The reason for asking is that i am going to get winter tyres and wheels . Anyone else done this and what did you fit ?

Have you noticed any difference , was it an improvement and would you do it again?

Winter tyres totally transformed my BMW, it wouldnt even get off the drive with the standard tyres, with the nokian gr2's it has been unstoppable in ice and snow. Would imagine similar results on a fwd golf.
