GTi.Si 0 Posted March 1, 2007 I had 205's on my rado but I have 215's on my mk2, still streched, but scrubbing will depend on how low the cars is and offset of the wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fazgti 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Its gunna be pretty low ut not Bally low, offset on these is et15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Heath 0 Posted March 1, 2007 I run 215/40/16 on my 9x16 If you are thinkin of goin v.low i would definately go for 205's My mate had a vr highline golf and he put 195's on 9x16 :shocked!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted March 1, 2007 When i got my brocks they had 195's on and they were massively stretched, just looked like someone had painted the rim :lol: Im running 215/40's on mine and they are stretched. I heard before that 215/40 is a much safer stretch than 205/40 dunno if thats true or not :? but i went for 215's because i couldnt get any good tyres in 205 only budgets. Mine catch though quite a bit with et15 and rolled arches running fairly low, but mines a VR6 with a wider track than the 16v so i should think you will be fine.

Crooky 0 Posted March 3, 2007 I'm looking at some borbet T's in 9x16 for my 1992 G60....... Any issues with running this width?? Car is lowered 40mm Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted March 3, 2007 You shouldnt have any issues mate but you might want to roll your arches as a precaution as they could still catch even though its not lowered much. Mine didnt catch too much on a 40mm drop on my VR6 which has a wider track than the G60 so you should be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
