right I've got a black gti, wel picking it up sometime this week, it was on 7.5" bbs rm's (porn) but unfortunatly i couldnt get them and I'm haveing the car on the standard 15" gti split rims, thing is they have a 195 45 15 tyre on and it buldges out off the rim a fair bit and looks shit tbh.

what i would like please is the following (i dont ask much )

- photos of gti's on standard wheels (especialy black ones's with the centers of the split rims sprayed black)

- are the wheels 6.5" wide?

- tyres. . .I've looked at all 31 pages in the wheels and tyres section and haven't found what i wanted! I'm quite a 'spirited' driver and have always had good tyres to keep me on the road but hate big chunky things, i cant get T1-R proxies but only in the 195 45 15 . . .witch i would class as abit bulky. so next size is 185 45 15s. . .but only nankang do them as far as i have gatherd. . . i dont want to skinny/ streched tyre, but no big buldge/profile and a decent tyre. . . .someone please tel me I'm not asking to much

thanks for your help in advance

oh and anycomments welcome

thought id bump the thread and add one of the forsale pics of my new car (deposit paied and just waiting for reg plate to be put back on) , as said though i will be getting it with standard gti wheels :)

I have 195 x 45x 15 on my bbs solitudes with yoko s drives and they dont look chunky at all

solitudes? are these the standard gti wheels? sorry I'm new to this side of things I've always been a ford man :p (waits for abuse?)

nah I've sused it, forget i asked that. thanks

195/45-15" is the standard size tyre for a MK5 / 6n2 on a 15" rim. Anything else will mess up the speedo to a greater or lesser degree.

I believe the rim is 6.5". You could slap the 195s on a wider set of rims over time.

ok, thanks for your help :) looks like I'm sticking to 195s then!

Yeah they are! 195's don't look bad on 6.5's imho, not chunky at all.
