Hi!
Found some nice wheels from a VW golf for a cheap price but Im unsure theyll fit.
15" and with 195/50-tyres, will these fit without any modifications to suspension and body?

Thanks in advance!

5 lug golf or 4 lug? what year? they'll fit if they are four lug.

195 can be a little tight in the back. I've had a 195 Yoko that barely fit and BF Goodrich 195 that hit the left fender of my 86 civic Si on every bump. Might be better if the car is not lowered since lowering tends to push the rear axle just a tad to the left of center. Mine was lowered about an inch and a half.

i have 195's and they don't rub at all ever. you have to worry more about the aspect ratio but it's a 50 so he should be ok. if it were 55 then he'd have issues.

They were 4 luged, unsure about year tho.

And my car is all stock.
The tyres were not mint, so I might buy new ones after a while, should I go thinner? like 45?

Thanks for your reply!

What offset is your wheel? I have 195-50-15's on 15x6.5"+42 offset and am tucking tire and can't rub, even if I tried. OR you must have some shitty suspension.

Of course, If you ghetto lower your car on shitty struts, and cut springs,with a lower offset wheel, you will probably rub 195's all day.Believe it or not I had 16x7 215/45/16 on my car and did not rub, but I was at stock height with new tokico and #350 on GC coilovers..

50 is good for me. should be good for most people. i even have +35 offset wheels.
