what tyres for my alloys?
« on: 13 June 2012, 13:14 »
sorry to be a pain again. I have searched and still confused, i'm picking up some ats cups tomorrow 15x7j the offset is either 20 or 28 i'm just wondering with either of these offset will the alloys fit on the car fine or will i need arch work? and what size tyres would be best for a nice stance!

Thanks.

take it yours is a NON GTi 4 stud.

I have 195/45-15s on my 15x7j cups on my G2

as seen





most people run 195/50-15s and they are a bit cheaper / common.

ok got some rubber tyres today for my new to me alloys. but when braking it seems to make a noise almost like rubbing humming sound at the same speed of the car. i'm thinking maybe they have put weights on the inside on the alloys hitting the brake when stopping? there 7j15 et28 195/50 just about clear on the back arches lots room at the front (needs more lows at the front)

any ideas what the noise could be?
