Can you get 185/50/15 tyres? Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Don't think so, but you can get 175/50 and 195/45 which are both a lower profile overall if that's what you're looking for.

I have a feeling late spec 16v Mk2 Golfs ran 185/50s (maybe 185/55s)

yea they ran 185/55's

185/45?

Do you think 165/50/15 on some 7's up front and 185/45/15 on some 8's for the rear wouls be good?

Should be OK but I'd run 195s on the 8s just so you get a better tyre choice.

I think NanKang are the only company that do 185/45s. Good luck staying out of ditches with them

165/50 on the front and 175/50 on the rear

Snap With Heartagram ... I need some 8J on the back .. I had to use some spacers to push my 7J's out ..
