Posted December 6, 200717 yr the wheels have 195/45/16 tyres on them but theyre fooked. theyre also slightly stretched to fit the rim. what other sizes of tyres would fit? im guessing it would be a 205 to fill the rim better, but would i be able to go 205/50 or would it have to be 205/45? would 215s fit?
December 6, 200717 yr as above, as long as its a 6.5+ J rim they're the ones to go for - nothing wrong with 195/45/16s on <7.5J though - many manufacturers specify them
December 6, 200717 yr Author 215/40 how wide is the rim?theyre 7.5 wide. does that make much difference?
December 7, 200717 yr 215/40 how wide is the rim?theyre 7.5 wide. does that make much difference? yeah , because theyre wider , certain size tyres will be stretched on
December 7, 200717 yr 205 is max width without spacers on mondeo 16s or 215 is ideal size with a maximum of a 45 profile ON 7.5J rims ,its all down to offset at the end of the day Edited December 7, 200717 yr by 1pukkadeal
December 13, 200717 yr can i put 195/45/15 on my GTI wheels, when i asked my local tyre centre for them they said it would knock the speedo way out.
