TT comps on a mk3
« on: 29 May 2009, 22:23 »
Just bought a set of these but they have 225 45 17 rubber on them so I'm guessing they won't fit.

I've searched a bit on this but can't find a definite answer.... What size tyres do I need?

Thanks!

Both the above sizes are correct, 205/40/17 will keep the gearing as it should be but the narrower ones can help with clearance.

Thanks guys. I'm not looking to go too low so I reckon 205s should get the job done.

No 225/45/17 are too big and will rub the arches.
