I do find it quite alot of stretch myself but my mate had a tyre to fit a 7j wide wheel an had it on a 10j rim without any problems And is a 165 50 meant for 5.5j or 6? -

Im going to be getting 165 50's on an 8j wheel is it very difficult as its a fair bit of stretch the tyre will be bridgestone potenza -
Going to be purchasing a set of 8j wheels And ordered 4 potenza 165 50 15's for them.. My questions are How hard will it be for the tyre place to get that tyre on the rim? When/if it goes on is it likely to leak/come off the bead ? Iv searched and read a few topics on various forums but still sort of mixed views.. Cheers

I have removed helpers allround wound it right the way down and i think its bottoming out as in piston bottoming out so is quite bouncy.. Is there any way around this other than putting helpers back or winding it up? Also the coilover has this extra adjuster ring on and the base of the coilover can be extended/taken off but i dont know what its for? If i extend the base of the coilover will that allow for the piston to move more?! Said car Any help is welcomed! Cheers

-
Was being the key word i take it? And probably the only gti engine in that colour polo
-
I remember that being on classifieds ages ago doesnt it have leather interior and a gti engine swap?
-
It was £450 with aircon and 58k miles im not going to burn it just slam it instead cheers for the advice about coilovers iv opted for ta's as im a cheapskate and couldnt be bothered save for a week an get fk's and the ta's claim to be 120mm drop but il be remving helpers anyway
-
Just aqcuired a 6n and wanting coilovers but ta's say 120mm drop on the advert and my mate has them and its not low enough an dont relaly wanna remove helpers but if needs must Anyoe no anything about getting 6n's low Cheers
-

-
