Porsche D90 tyre sizes.
« on: 18 January 2012, 19:04 »
WARNING. The following thread is about tyre stretch, if you do not like this; PLEASE, leave now!

So, ive bought some porsche d90's. Fronts are 7's and the rears are 8's. They came with 225 55 and 205 50. Pretty big! Im gunna need a bit of stretch on the rear as my Mk3 is low. Whats the best sizes to achieve this?

Would 195/45/16 be ok all round and provide a big of stretch on the rear?

Cheers in advance!

Also, budget is a little stretched now seeing as the wheels are in need of a refurb. I was going to buy some Toyo Proxies TR1's. Would budgets stretch? Or if i be a real cheapskate, would part worns be ok?

Also, any idea on colours? I do like them in the gunmetal/anthracite. Looking for something a little different though!
