195/50's would be a better bet. 195/45's look lost on mk2 golfs i think. there is just much arch gapage either side of the wheel. even when lowered

i run 195/50 on 15*7 lowered on 20mm eibachs - no rubbing at all at the front. Back rubs every now and then on nasty sweeping bouncy bumps - if you know what I mean!!!
