hello all,
 so the situation is, i have a 16v on std alloys and suspension.  all tyres need replacing and front drivers wheel is buckled. time to upgrade!  i rather like the look of compomotive th monos so thinking of getting tyre/alloy package.
 ones im looking at are 15" 8j et 25 205, 50  15', which they say will fit. once i have recovered from the pay out of the new alloys and tyres i shall be getting my self some decent coilovers. im not planning on dropping more than 60mm. am guessing i will need arches rolled with that drop, but am i guna need to get some more stretch?
 a problem tho, is im not a huge fan of stretch. lol will it be required???
thanks for any help

To be honest I wouldn't choose them wheels for one reason, weight! They weight a ton.

You will need stretch with that et. You want et30 at the most. And yes you will need to roll them

Ahh I have heard that they are ment to light. Thought they were Motorsport brand? What size tyre do you think I would need?

[tweed]

195/45/15 tyre

If they are real motorsport wheels they would be magnesium and light. But this style of wheel is a gravel rally copy. It has a lot more matieral than needed.


However they do look awesome so don't let that put you off, I'm just telling you a little about them. I was going to get a set a while back.

[vwwvgolf]

no no its good to know abit about somthing rather than nothing, thank you lol
and cheers for the tyre info,
 so would you really not bother with 205's?? will there be defiant rubbage??

8j Et25 with that tyre is crazy 

I struggled with 195/45/16 tyre on my 8j et20. So you got 5mm to play with, but with 205/50/15 tyre it will rub even with rolled arches. (If its low!)

I had to go to 195/40/16 tyre.

Okay loos like ill have to stretch then lol. Thanks for the help mate . Got to get all the rust on arches sorted before I can start to have some fun then!

sent an email to compomotive asking about the weight, of out interest, and they weight between 6.8Kg and 7.3Kg depending on fitment,   for 15" x8".
much lighter than the standard alloys i bleive lol
