BennyBoy 0 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hi Guys, great forum, been very useful so far and I've only had my VR6 3 weeks, and yes....I love it!!!I would like to change the wheels as mine are badly corroded, I read a previous thread about wheel size and have decided to go the 16" route. I am trying to save every penny I can and so I'm looking at second hand wheels on ebay. Could somebody who is running 16's please tell me what size tyres you have, as I don't want to buy a set with tyres and then find out they are too big or too small.Thanks in advance,Alex Link to post Share on other sites
Steve @ 1 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 205/45 16 or 195/45 16, will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

mightymidget 0 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Running 215/40 16 with my BBS splits, but you'll need to lower the car quite a bit as the gap between the tyres and arches is quite big. No problems with rubbing or handling with the car 40mm down on each end. Hope this helps..If you lower and then add 16's you'll need to have the tracking, camber done etc.. About £60 at main VW dealers.PS - Bath is about 10miles from me Link to post Share on other sites

BennyBoy 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 mmmm very jealous. Love those wheels!! I had to put the wheels on hold as it looks like the clutch is on the way out. I refurbished the standard vr6 wheels myself in black. A real labour of love, but would never do it again!! Once you've started one wheel you have to keep going!! Link to post Share on other sites
