Only trend whore 240SX people who showed up after the dR1fTa shit caught on run huge lips. To get the right sized 9" wide wheel, the offset does create a decent sized lip. Nothing like what people put on VWs though.

16x9s on a VW will not help you for racing. They are heavy and you can't fit a wide enough tire for them inside your fenders.

You want a nice regular 16x7" or 16x7.5" and a 205/45-16 tire. Any wider of a rim and all you'll be doing is stretching the tire which compromises its ability to stick to the road.

Here.

Get 16x7" BBS RX at $229 a pop.



And then for tires there's a couple choices depending on how sticky you want to go and how much you want to spend. In 205/45-16 you can get Yokohama AVS ES100 for $78 a pop.

If you want more stick there's the Pirelli PZero Nero at $118 each or the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 at $116.

All prices are from tirerack.com.

You'll have some wheels that suit the style of the VW without looking stupid or weighing too much, plus a correctly sized tire that is nice and sticky.
