TT Comps with225/45/17 will they fit on my highline

without rubbing its std ride and height (i know its going to need to be lowered)

i would like to use them as they were fitted to the TTs when i bought them

and when they burn down i can fit 205/40/17 or 195/40/17

how low with coilovers can u go before they rub with 205/40/17

thanks guy for all your help have a good weekend

You should really have 40 profile instead of 45. 45 will increase the overall rolling radius making your gearing and speedo slightly out of sync.. so you think you are going 40mph for example when in fact you are going 45 etc. You may also experience scrubbing of the tyres on the wheel arches. I suspect it should be ok on standard ride height though. Should look cool when you get the height lowered and the 40 profile on. Just take it easy near the speed cameras! I would stick with 205 width. 195 is smaller than standard. I tried 195 width tyres on my standard 15" wheels and experience understeer in the wet going round roundabouts...to the extent bog standard astras etc could go quicker round corners in the wet!! I changed to 205 width and all back to normal.

Good luck mate.

I wouldnt risk it.

You will more than likely scrape like hell with those tires on.

If you plan on slamming it then you will rub without a doubt :-)

Look for Toyo Proxes in 205/40/17 they are nice and sticky and wear well.

FK highsports are very good as long as you maintain them well and by that I mean grease them on a regular basis :-)

I got 195/40/17 fitted to my TT comps.. I used to get a bit of rubbing with 205 (even with rolled rear arches!) - but you definately get the understeer in the wet..

Hiya mate my wheels where already polished when i purchased them i do look after them and polish them regular it cost me £70 to get the arches rolled and that was including undersealing them aswell at a place in bradford if you need anymore details about the place pm me as for the toyo they are t1-r i think and they cost me about £260 or £270 for the 4 fitted at a place near to where i live

Thanks for the comments on the car too its nice to no ppl like it as i love it just going to be adding a couple more bits to it over the next few months
