rims, brake clearances, blizzaks for an 04 GTI.

Nov 12, 2004 0 Replies

Sometimes I'm extrodinairly guilty of doing things out of order, and could use some help....



I want to upgrade the brakes to the bigger R32 style calipers, rotors, etc, and also get a set of steel rims to mount some blizzaks onto (I think the WS-50s.)


The calipers aren't going to be installed before winter, so I could use some net advice.



What set of steel rims will mount on an R32? And assuming some form of minus-sizing, what would you recommend for tires? I'll go with steel rims, unless there's a good, cheap set of alloys.



I'm currently running the factory 17's and I'm a little worried about driving the GTI through a NE winter. (I get my first crack at snow tonight.) I have the ESP option, and I've been told that the car will be great in snow, but any help would be appreciated.



Also, anyone other than tirerack.com you'd recommend?
