Wheel question!
Hello! I'm looking to replace the old wagon wheels.. I have a '98 TT, and was wondering if these will fit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-17...34918339QQrdZ1
I have the stock wagon wheels and tires.. And my car is .not. a Z06
Isn't there a difference in wheel size for base vs. Z06?

The frount is the same size.
The back is a inch wider. Your tire will fit but will not be a good fit.
You may want to buy some new back tires and sell your old ones.
Nice wheels

What are the stock sizes for the '98 base model? and how badly would they fit, being an inch wider?

your sidewall will be stretched some to make up for the extra inch in width. It is not the ideal thing to do, but will work!
