you can get 17's and 18's on without rubbing if you get the correct offset but they look crap and you will loose some of the handling, imo 16" maximum with a 45 profile tyre but 15's with a 50 profile tyre are so much cheaper and the mk2 can pull them off even with a small suspension drop!!

if you get a 1.4 push rod i would fully rebuild it before it went any where near going in a mk1...
problem is naith i dont think its a long term fix by just getting a new disk/bearing as the failed bearing has worn a lip into the stub axel which means a new one might not fit as tightly, but at least it can go back onto four wheels and put onto a trailer... fred can make a call on the axel if...
