as titled..

i dont have a polo, i havea 106 gti, but i'm gettin some bbs rm's in a 106 fitment, but i need some tyres,

what size do you recommend?

any pics aswell please?

would like a tiny bit of stretch - as i know its hard to get on a 6J wheel.

kind regards

Gary

165/50 Bridgestone Potenzas. Give a decent stretch on my 6.5" RM's, so will be a bit less on a 6.

are u sure they are BBS RMs.. (split rims?) not sure if they come in 6x15s but i maybe wrong.

thought standard size was 6.5x15 (6" basket n 0.5" dish)

as above.. 165/50/15 Bridgestone Potenzas on my 6.5x15 BBS RM

i haven't got the wheels yet, I've only just brought them. but there advertised as:

BBS Rm, rare fitment, 2 pc split rims

They have been rebuilt with black centres, mirror polished dishes and new chrome bolts

6x15

4x108

ET22 All round

Centrebore 65.1

learn something new every day..lol. didnt know they came in that width.

look like a standard stainless 0.5 dish so dont forget to get BBS RM valves as standard ones that tyre fitters carry dont fit.

look nice dude n should look phatt on a lowered pug.

u can fit a 165/50/15 on a 7"rim for a big stretch so should b fine on ure 6"rim.

heres mine.. 6.5x15 on the bridgestones (soon 2b 7.5 front 8 rears.. radinox lips.. wrapped in dunlop SPs)

Yeah I only learned recently that in 4x108 fitment they did them as 6" wide. The lips are the same size (0.5) but the barrels are half an inch narrower. So they look the same from the face but are narrower at the back.

Standard rubber ones should fit fine, I had a couple replaced a while back as the RM metal ones were leaking! Needed a quick fix and these were fine.
