Mk1 Wheel fitment question

Well they are wider then my 14" bottle caps but they're only 5.5", so I'd say he's right and the Sebrings are only 6" wide.  Either way they fit up nice on my MK1 with MK2 springs.  Lower then that, I don't know, you may want to try a 185/55/15 with that size rim and that would give you that rounded sidewall look that seems so popular.  I'm not really into that myself, I prefer more treadwidth and a thick sidewall for Solo style driving.

  I believe Sebrings are 15X wider than anything else earlier. I haven't measured my set yet, but 205's look really good on them.

    If I may, the Sebrings are actually 15X6.  I had a set as well (on a GTI).
    I had rubbing on the right fender, could have been easily fixed with a 
    fender roller.

    I have a set of stock Corrado Sebrings on my MK1, 15X7 I think.  They only
    rubbed a little bit at full left or right steering.  The rubber on them is
    195/50/15.  My suspension is stock MK2 springs.  Right now it doesn't run 
    though, caught fire.  I get my new rubber from EdgeRacing.com (no
    affiliation).  It's not a bad price if you have a way to mount low pro's
    yourself.
