Tons of people run them. I would guess they are the most popular wheel choice for the Mk3. I ran a set of N/A wheels for a few years. They are a large and decently light wheel with Toyota factory quality and the look suits the car. The only downside is the high offsets. Spacers can fix that if you're going for the flush look.

I'm really starting to like them, what size side wall would you run on the N/A wheels. Does any one make 275s in 16"

I have no idea what id run on the NA wheels. I have the MKIV TT wheels which are 17" by 8" front and 9.5" rear.

For tire sizes, i currently have 255-40s all around but im about to get 275-40s for the rear.

But as far as finding tire sizes ive always used this calculator.

Put in the stock sawblade sizes and then you can kinda find out what size to get to still keep a accurate speedometer.

You run whatever you can find because good tires in 16's are going bye bye. I had 225/50's in the front and 245/45's in the rear. It looked good and wasn't expensive. 275's don't exist in street rubber. I don't even think the 255/50 is made anymore but I haven't checked since I no longer have 16's.

:boink: If your not losing traction:evil2: Would just get the stock 5 spoke mkIII's. Either way they look good.

Thinking about running all 4 rears not that I have 2 sets. Here is a pic of rear on the front, looks pretty flush.
