Post by: Wazzzer on 14 April 2009, 23:09: no probs mate, I'm pretty sure that's what the Santa Monicas came with from the factory
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: dubcruiser on 15 April 2009, 19:31: No, correct 17" tyre size for the Mk4 is 225/45 R17 :wink:
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: Wazzzer on 15 April 2009, 19:40: Mine are probably 225s then sorry, I know they are the correct size though
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 15 April 2009, 19:42: 215/45's are nearly the same - Either will do. :)
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: johnson6672 on 15 April 2009, 20:38: Hmm, thought the 215's on mine looked a bit skinny, will be fitting 225's next time, or may change and have the 215's for my scoobie.
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: Steve_PD on 15 April 2009, 20:54: 215's if you want a bit of stretch :smiley:

How wide are the S/M's? 7J??

If 7J, then 215 will hardly be a 'stretch' (God, I hate that look, LOL! :D) You can safely fit 205 tyres on 7 J. :)
Title: Re: anyone got 17" alloys on there car
Post by: dubcruiser on 16 April 2009, 10:09: Yeah the Santa's are 7J x 17. You can fit 215 on them but the speedo will be slightly out.

205/55 16's; Speedo reads 60 mph:-

215/45 = 1% too fast. Actual speed = 59.4 mph

225/45 = 0.4% too slow. Actual speed = 60.2 mph

Tolereance = +/- 3% :nerd:
