My golf gti 16v currently has 205/50/16 tyres on now can I replace them with 215/40/16 ive checked autodata that seems the correct size and a lower profile tyre would it help lowering as there would be more clearance.
-
205/45/16 or 215/40/16 are the OE sizes and give you more clearance than what you have which are too big anyway.
-
The rim is apparently off a toyota celica and has those stupid jap metal valves. I take it I can just fit those tyres and they would be fine and fit no problem on that rim
-
You can also use 195/45/16 but I would check the offset if they are non veg.

I agree with wayne,check offset if you have salad or meat wheels.
-
Ive always fancied some Corvette salad spinners. :laugh:
-
That would be salad shooters mr wronghouse :grin:
-
Also check wheel clearance against the front calipers - the GTi ones have a habit of fouling.
-
I have taken a picture of the wheel would anyone be able to identify it so I can find the offset and work out the best tyre size for my car please :P

They look a bit like my BBS RX - replicas maybe?
Whip one off and check for any size & ET stampings on the inner face of the wheel.
-
Ahh ok I will have a look half way through my timing beltt atm :laugh:
-
Are those stamp marks on the right hand side between the spokes on the inner lip?
-
I belive there is when I take the wheel off theres a pink spacer a cone shape tht sits on the hub is this an adapter for the wheel to fit the hub

Managed to get these numbers P100505kgp. 4h620kg. piaa. 10x7jj it was hard to read but I think thats correct
-
10x7j -Are they from a mini? :rolleyes:
-
When I bought the car the guy said the wheels are of a celica alls I know they say made in japan on the rim aswell as those numbers lol
