I put 195/40's on a mates TT comps a awhile back.  Not too stupid looking, just right in my opinion.

A wheel is a wheel, just look for the amount of stretch a 195/40 will give you on a 7" rim.

Being awkward is telling you to fcuk off with your stupid Audi wheels on a VW.

Sorry mate, thats not my game.  Have a look on Tyrestretch as there are plenty of pictures of TT wheels with all sorts of tyre configurations.  But as said the 195/40 is the best tyre for achieving the stretched look on the TT rims. 

I take it we're talking about the ones in your sig?
