Title: wheel sizes and wheel options ?
Post by: pottinger on 23 December 2013, 14:08

hey guys, little confused on a tyre/wheel question.

Ed35 with 19 inch Glendales and 225/35/19s
standard GTI 18 inch monzas - 225/40/18s (I presume the 18 inch glenwatkins on ed35 are same tyre size)

are the glendales exactly the same rolling diameter for speedo etc etc etc
I am presuming they are and must be the same fittment etc etc surely... ?

So basically (if I wanted) I could stick anyone of the above options on without effect on speedo or even offset ??

sorry for maybe a silly question but im going round in circles trying to answer this for myself lol

cheers

Try these calculators

I've put the sizes in, for your speedo showing 70mph, it'll actually be 69.68. So not far out
