Wheel arch sizes

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

Anything up to 195/50-15 should be OK. I use 15X7 on my 1982 with no
bodykit.

The GTX has the body kit, according to one of my books - the GT has the
kit in black as well (is this true of yours?). This I believe is what the
Haynes manual is referring to as "wheel arch extensions.

Interesting that your insurance would even know about the wheels, over
here I've never been asked by insurance co's about what wheels I have on
the car.

Do all Sciroccos have the same sized wheel arches?
I'm asking because in my Hayne's manual it mentions whell arch extensions
for the GTX.
Might this mean I can't fit GTX wheels on my GT?

Still looking for the wheels.
Really want a set of Borbets, but they would nearly double my already
astronomical insurance premium, so I'm going for the GTX wheels if I can
ever finfd them.
