Just changed to 14's on the front getting a little bit of rubbage :roll:
 
Had mine like this for 2 years , lowered on whitewalls 195/75/14

Now got it on 185/55 front and 195/60 on rear. Took it lower at front by about 2 inch but left the back the same. One slight problem is on shitty roads the anti roll bar occasionally bottoms out on the ground, but love the look so just avoid pot holes. :mrgreen:

Looked at loads of options for wheels as wanted the same offset that VW gave the stock wheel, however with 14" you are limited to tyre sizes due to gear ratios.

Bought some Flat4 Fuch's but sold them on and got a set of pre-64 split screen crows feet wheels and had the blasted & powder coated.
I'm really pleased how it worked out and the fronts still sit in like they should.

Also decided to get the hub caps powder coated like the original Westies and to be different.

I may even drop the front down another inch.

Hope you like.
