Just a thought, and it's only my thought, but I've seen 16's on a Typ 81 Audi 80 and they looked gash. The rims just looked too big for the car and looked daft.
15's are about the biggest you'd want to be looking at. Mine is lowered 60mm and is running 14's and that's filled the arches nicely. |

 I went with my gut feeling saw these alloys on the bay thought they were lovely and just wanted them, hopefully they will not look to daft on the Sport....  I feel like a little kid, but I cannot give it away yet, got to wait until I get them on the car before I reveal what I have bought....  |

as long as they aren't Venoms you maybe safe. I think a lot goes with what wheels they are. A lot of modern rims in 16 and 17 just don't suit the B2 80's. I've tried a few sets of wheels on mine and have always stuck with old skool styles. First Cookies, then ATS classics, then BMW melbers, then Ronal R8's, then VW Castelett's which are now on my 80 sport. |

If it ever stops raining I'll have a quick look at the ET of mine.
I would just stick em on, then worry if they don't fit.
