    Tech: Legal wheel size on a 1988 VW Golf GL running in stock class??

    I'm having trouble figuring out what the legal wheel size would be on a 1988 VW Golf GL (4dr) in Stock class.

    Is it a 13x5.5 or a 14x6?  I think some came with a 14x6 . . .

     

    Thanks!

    Mark,

    Have you tried some of the VW boards devoted to the "old skool" cars? None come to the top of my head right now, but I know they are a couple out there... (perhaps someone else knows a few???)

    I hate to say it, but this is one reason why I personally supported the sunset rule. It just gets downright hard to find out what's legal from what's not on many older cars.

    Btw, thanks for the Ska @ Nats -- good stuff!

    if you want to be sure not to get protested I would say use the size that is printed on the sticker of your door.  If you do go/ 14"'s you can TRY the argument that many mkII's came w/ 14"'s.
