Hi everyone,
Looking to buy ATS Classic wheels. Do they have same hole spacing as
say Volkswagen ?

I don't know about all VWs, but, the older ones I think were 4X100mm. There's always a set or two of ATS wheels on the German Ebay. I have one set of 13X6, and I like the look.

Thanks,
As this is my first GT what width would you recommend 6, 7 or 8",
or maybe smaller the front and larger rear (without being silly) ?

These guys import the ATS classic wheels in 13x7 and 13x8. Tire size and related availability will determine wheel width.

I don't go for the "smaller" up front and "bigger" rear. I like the same size all around so as to be able to rotate the tires for even wear, but, this is just mu opinion. As for size, if it's for a GT, you can go with a 7" wide, but, for a Manta/Ascona, I'd go with a 6" wide

8" wide on all 4 corners for me.

Poor little pregnant roller skates!
GTs already get loose without putting different width tyres front and back!
Tyre/wheel total weight is one of the major considerations - more unsprung weight = worse handling and ride.
Have a look through the threads with "backspace" or "offset" in the Search Function to see the many pros and cons.

It is an interesting world as we are all individuals united by (Opel) madness.
Thanks for your input.

I think Jarrell was asking which vehicle they were originally fitted to.
As far as I can recall the bigger sizes of ATS classics were not OEM, but aftermarket only.

Don't know were they originally made for, but I do know they hadn't 7x15 anymore. Thats the reason I've 7x13 on the front (and 9x15 on the rear.)

Did you make your own rear side markers? They look nice, a lot like the ones I made from supplies I got from the hardware store and Tap plastics. Jerry
