SteveRobb 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Sorry to those of you have posted before on similar subjects but I need a definitive answer before I purchase. Will a set of 215 (on front) 225 (on rear) x 45 x 17" fit on a VR6 with a 30mm drop. They have come off a mk 4 golf and are 5 x 100 pcd with an offset of 35. I have heard conflicting stories of 17" wheels rubbing etc and these ones do seem a little wider at the rear than a standard 205 width??? Thanks Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted July 19, 2005 205/40/17's would be a safe bet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Your suggested sizes are just too big. I've tried the 45's and the 215's and just a chew on cos the arches will definately catch and probably scuff the inner arches. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 19, 2005 Rubbing aside, consider this:- Size - Sidewall - Radius - Diameter - Circumference - Revs/Mile - Difference 205/50-15 - 4.0in - 11.5in - 23.1in - 72.5in - 874 - 0.0% 215/45-17 - 3.8in - 12.3in - 24.6in - 77.3in - 819 - 6.7% 225/45-17 - 4.0in - 12.5in - 25.0in - 78.5in - 808 - 8.2% 45 profiles are going to rub big time if you lower, not mention making the speedo inaccurate and slowing the car down.
