Which size tyres?
« on: 28 April 2010, 12:03 »
I have just bought a set of 15" x 7" BBS RS replicas for my mk2. Which size tyre would fit best? This car is my daily driver so nothing too stretched please. I was thinking 195/50/15. Thanks.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Man, 15's are cheap. Been looking to get decent 185/50/14's and they want arms and legs for them!
