Re: 2002 WHEEL SIZES???

           The best size and offset for the 2002 is the 14x6" wheels 
originally for the E30 BMW's,which is also the exact same wheels for VW's 
from'85 to '97 using the 4x100mm pattern.Most aftermarket Places now list 
mostly 15"and 16" wheels for E30 BMW's,so your best bet is to look up what's 
available for the VW's.(also early Audi 4000's)
           Using 15" wheels on a 2002 street car is a bit radical for a 
decent ride on a daily car,and 14x6.5" are going to cause clearance problems 
on some cars.I've owned several 2002/2002Tii's since 1971,and sold 
hundreds.The 14x6" is by far the best size I've found for both daily and 
even track use on stock or very modified 2002Tii's I've used for 25 years.
