The subtle modder Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yes i believe these wheels would fit as they are available in many offsets as 16" is the new size and would fit with 195/45 and a 30mm drop as that is what AROSA PD is running on his tdi so he would be able to advise you on any rubbing etc it is generally advised to use 195/40 tyres for increased clearance and less rubbing but they are gonna give less ride comfort and are considerably more expensiveawait Adam b's replyCar sounds nice and with these wheels could look very style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" />wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 yeah the car is ok.. its got the red rear lights though, im not so fond of them agaisnt the blue paintwork, looking for some black backed ones on ebay.. if i cant find any 2nd hand il have to go to the dealers.i might have a bit of a dabble at some tinting with the red ones when i get my black ones.. have a bit of fun with them.il get some pics taken of it standard, so that people can see its progress. i would love to have 195 40's but are the readily available? some websites dont offer them with 16's.. spose i could request them.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 First off welcome to the club, when you get a chance take some pictures for readers rides. We need to show these pesky Lupo drivers whos boss style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> As TSM said 195/40/16 are a better bet as the rolling radius will only be 0.1" out over a 195/45/15, meaning your speedo will only be out by 1.1%. Also provided you get a good width/ET combo you can still dump it 60mm+ if you so want.If you post some width/ET options we can advice you further.RE: 195/40 avaliblility there are loads of on-line shops that stock them, or you local tyre place will get them in if not in stock.

Ramirez Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nice car, if I were you though I'd stick the pictures in Readers rides so more people can see them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> .As for MO prices your best bet is to have a snoop aroung the net and see whats avalible.

one litre wonder ;) Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 RE: 195/40 avaliblility there are loads of on-line shops that stock them, or you local tyre place will get them in if not in stock.as somebody said the closest possible tyre you can get to the original size is a 195/40/16 but they aint that cheap , hence a few people have went for the 45 profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
