I was going to buy some TT comps a few weeks back but they were machine polished which wasnt my cup of tea tbh with my car being red so I didnt bother in the end.I have now came across a set of Audi TT Ronals which are 5x100 17x7.5 and have a decent set of 195.40.17 tyres the wheels are in gloss black which I prefer.At the moment my current tyres are 205.45.16 and I have no issues at all so my arches are untouched.Would the audi wheels require any arche work with the tyre spec mentioned and is anyone running a set at the moment if so any pictures thanks.I did try the search funtion but it didnt find to much so sorry if its already been asked :wink:

They should be okay mate. its depending on the offset of the wheels.
If they scup on the arch lip you can cut that or bend it flat to the arch so it doesn't rub.
Should be fine though

The bit you cut or bend you can't see neway. But 195,40 is the right tyre size. You on coillies?
