Title: tyres and wheels-how big?
Post by: 15 inches on 15 September 2003, 10:37

Can you go 205 /60/14's on a lowered 30mm mk2?

And how wide can you go on 15'' ralye steels,to go on to an unlowered mk2 turbo diesel??

Cheers.

That would look like tractor  :o
I'm not sure if you can get that size anyhow. (you can get 205/70/14 or 195/60/14. the nearest equivalent of a 205/70/14 would be 235/40/18 in diameter or a 195/60/14 would be 205/45/17, either one would be far to big without some mods)
If you tell me what size you have I can give you the equivalant tyre diameters to fit the car without messing up your readings.
Unfortunatly its not just a case of biggere/smaller rims = smaller/bigger profile. You have to take the width into account
