This site is wicked for working out correct tyre sizes and tells you if it's going to throw your gearing and speedo out.

Cheers for that gezza, not sure how accurate that is bt my reading if i had 165/50/15 profile tyres on these rims would put my speedo at 10%/6mph to fast. hmmmmmm...not good
How would i fix that? Anyone?


Not easy to fix also 165/50's will look lost in the arches.


yes man, your probably right there. Think ill stick to the 195/45-50/15 profile.
Im only 1mph/1.7% out on them. S'all good.

I have seen a mk3 on 165's and they looked lost, 195's are going to look better.

STOP STOP STOP STOP.

You need to get some wide old dish's for these splits. Get the rears as wide as you can allow under the mk3 arches.

It WILL look sick.

And yeah, go for a stupid stretch.
