Default 1993.5 Premier Mk4 n/a questions

Hi I just bought myself a 93 N/A premier Mk4 bone stock and put in a nice wide body kit and fully repainted the car to gunmetal but now I need some help...

1) What kind of turbo can I put into this car if I want a lot of power?
2) What is a perfect wheel offset/width to make it look "flush"? (19x8.5 and 19x10?)
3) Does anyone want to trade their TT Mk4 for my n/a...I will add cash on top...

Let me know. Thanks!

1) http://www.boostlogic.com/xcart/prod...&cat=19&page=1
2) If your body were still stock, you could figure it out from the oem offsets, which are +50 (front and rear)...the widest rear tire you can run with the oem fenders is a 315, with the inner fender lip cut. Oh, and why would you run a 19 on the rear? If you want "a lot of power", a 19" rim on the rear (with a the narrow sidewall you need to make it fit), you'll just sit there and spin. 18s or 17s on the rear with a fat sidewall will give you some traction and let you put that power to good use.
HOWEVER - with your widebody kit (which one???), you may have to measure and do some custom calculations, since the amount of width added with the widebody kits can vary.
3) Rofl j/k

Default Offset

thanks for the advice on the turbo...I think it is the TRD wide body....not quite sure but do you think 18s are good enough?...and yes i do want a lot of traction...if I go with 17/18s what is the ideal tire size to go with if I want to do double staggered...I measured it today, I need 8.5 wheels for the front fender and 10.25 in the rear to make it look flush...what do you think? plz help!

yep - pay to play

You can fit 11.5" wide rear rims and 315 width rubber under the *stock* rear fenders. with a widebody you might be able to fit 335s on 13" rims
