So a 15 x 7j rim with an ET13 running 195/45/15's - will there be any issues fitting a pair to the rear of a mk1?
22mm doesn't seem like too much difference over what I'm running at the moment...

As I wrestle with the emotions of scirocco ownership I've been looking at wheels to take my mind off things...

As a bit of a guess, having run similar wheels on a Mk2, if the car is lowered it'll probably rub the arch, and it may well stick out to the point where it's illegal.
TBH, you don't need 7" rims on a car that weighs 850kg, but I guess this isn't about handling, really.
