<x-rich>Many of the listers (myself included) run the Dunlop SP8000s on our 14" rims. They're available in a 195-55. And while someone recently reported that his SP8000s were chunking up on him, I've had no problems with mine (and that includes a track day of over 120 minutes).

I have a receipt from the original owner of my '91 GTi from when he traded back the dealer the 15" rims and tires for some 14" teardrops shortly after he bought the car. Trouble is, the 205-55 Pirelli P600's he has on there are just about gone, and noone makes that size in a street tire anymore. Guess I'll have to resort to the stock size (185-60) unless anyone's got a plus size they've been successful with?

Last year it was 3 bent rims and this year we are already working on fixing our 2nd. So I am going to the j-yard to pick up a set of 14" bottle cap type alloys. Here's the question. Do the 14" wheels with the 4 lugs have the same bolt pattern spacing as the 15"? Would just like to be sure before picking them up!
