I had the nasty 13" steelies on my CL, they had 175/70/13's on them and I changed them to my RX's which are 195/45/16's and they have little affect on the speedo (just checked it now - 1.2% greater it says)

Go on: http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator (Dom reccommended it to me a while back - seems to be reliable also :wink:) May aswell get a second opinion.

I thing the ratio for your steely's tyres is 70 though  :wink:


(As above) Golf MK3 & genuine BBS RX 16"wheels, now for sale separately - Just ask for details - Thanks, Les

Just used that one and set the steels to 70 and it says the difference is 3.3% not bad? :)

My speedometer was more accurate and the car drove better when I went from 13 to 195 on 15's. :)

Where all my moneys went.

I'll just refurb then and bang them on with some 195's :P

VR6 Highline Colour coded trim
These arrived in the post this morning! :smiley:

Gonna need some work before they go on the car, sanding and spraying them red. Overall, I'm happy with them to say I paid £30 shipped :tongue:
