243 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 On 195/40 tyres you should be fine. You could get problems any lower though. PM NBFR he has 16s on his TDI n thats on coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapo Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I believe 195/40/16's are a difficult tyre to get hold of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 NFBR has some serious rubbing issues with his fronts and they are 7s, although he is on coilovers so you may get away with it with a 40mm drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
