Do the tyres need to be changed from the original Audi 225/45/17 to fit the mk3 Golf?? Anyone know??   

[jv]

yes, you need 205/40/17's and to check they are 5/100's

[boneybradley]

these should be 5x100..... and yes you will need the 205/40 tryes as jv confirmed (all though i have seen a few mk3's with 205/45 and they look odd!!)

you mean 205/45 and my tyres dont look odd!!!!!!!

although with 2 adults and a kid in the back ont he way ot the airport at 80mph on M25 i hit a bump and they rubbed severely.... time to scource some 205/40/17's i think but then it will need lowering!!!!!!!

you mean 205/45 and my tyres dont look odd!!!!!!!

and 205/45 knock your speedo out!! Is that what your running si??

[R98 HUF]

yeah thats what the wheels came with and according to the MAF (i was doing average speed of 84) when speedo was showing constant 90....  so guess its out a bit

So you could go fro 225 35 17's and remove every filling in your head (unless you have very fancy upgraded suspension) they'd look the dogs danglies tho'
