Featured Replies

My current situation is that i have a set of 15' borbet t's laying around.

Cant make my mind up weather i should put them on my GT or not.

But if i did what's the lowest profile i could go with a 60mm drop?

Was thinking of getting some 13"s however have check out a few polo's with 15"s and they look quite interesting.

I have checked previous post but couldn't find a definate answer, so any info would be great.

Thanks Dan

I ran 195/45/15 on my squareback with the arches rolled and it was fine. But they were Polo GTI wheels with quite a high offset.

Can't really suggest any tyre sizes because you haven't said the width of the wheels.

Sorted looks like ill be taking a trip down the old tyre fitters tomorrow see what's happening as the old 195/50's are going no where at the mo!

195s on a squareback! But I had rolled my arches. But my wheels were ET40+ (can't remember exactly what). But on a coupe it should be no problem at all with 165/50s
