« on: 08 July 2010, 20:59 »
IM looking at a set of 15x7 wheels to put on my mk2 to turn it in to a track car/ b road blaster>  now the tyre options that come with the wheels are anything from 195/45/15 to 205/50/15.and other combination's in between.  normally i would go for lowest profile as it looks better.  what is better in your personal experience

Can't go wrong with 195/50

Lads on Northloop are recommending Federal 595 RS-R at the moment.  Similar to Toyo R888s but cheaper and longer lasting.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
