xgordyx 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i'm running 205/40/17 tyres without any problems the car is lowered too but not sure by how much.If your buying tyres i'd strongly recomend toyo t1r, in the wet they are very good as i can report, not tryed them in the dry yet but going by reviews they should be very good too Link to post Share on other sites
DasAutoVR6 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I wonder what 195s would be like? Link to post Share on other sites
xgordyx 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 you'll be fine with 205s my arches havent been rolled and it doesn't scrub. I used to have 215s and the rear arches scrubbed a bit Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 It also depends on the offset (ET) whether they will rub or not... If you want to go low then go for 195/40/17.I had 205s on my TT comps which are the same size and they used to rub, changed to 195s and they didnt Link to post Share on other sites

Are you running spacers on the rear? I'd been thinking of spaceing my rears out a little so i can get the centre caps on. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 just 6mm spacers on the rear for the centre caps maybe it's the ride height? How low is yours? Im on my 3rd sump Link to post Share on other sites
xgordyx 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Not sure as it was lowered when i bought the car. The tyres sit about level with the arches. Link to post Share on other sites
