The stretched tyre is because the law states (in the UK at least) that your tyre can not protrude further than the wheel arch so the VW guys got creative and realised that wider wheels weren't illegal if they could get the tyre under the arch. Motormouth, you’re right.

They have built a few that set new standards in stance and finish (www.tukcustoms.com). My all time favorite mark 1. The white mark 1 GTI is Rob from TUK Customs.

And I don't know where you guys live at (I am in the currently cold and rainy NE! Philadelphia) but every bookstore I go into has multiple VW and Euro tuning magazines and ever cover is graced with the most ridiculously slammed and stanced VWs imaginable. Check out some of the magazines... like 'Dub'. Also, I could be wrong here, I am a Nissan guy, but the reason the stretched tire look started in the first place was because road laws in Europe prohibited mounting wider than stock tires to a road car... so then you got these guys popping on 10 inch wide wheels... on the stock 215 tires! Not sure if this is still a law, or which specific countries have them, but the trend never died. Love the site, keep up the great reporting!

Maybe Napolean was the real offset/stance is everything OG. ha ha Either way, I love VW's. First car was a bug. First thing I did was lower the nose by removing spring plates.
