Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi den. On 9" you could go for 215/40's I reckon. That would give you some stretch too! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6DEN 53 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 But will 40 leave a big gaps between the wheel arches as im on standard springs? Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, 40's will leave a fair gap. This would give you almost the correct rolling radius and keep your speedo accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is what mine looked at prior to lowering Link to post Share on other sites

VR6DEN 53 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ok but 45 allround is that not the right VW as it's 50 for 15" Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ok but 45 allround is that not the right VW as it's 50 for 15"Personally I'd go for 45 's on 16s. I run 40 on my 17s Link to post Share on other sites
VR6DEN 53 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ok but these are all 9 inch wide will that make a difference mate? Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It definitely makes a difference according to rim width den. Link to post Share on other sites
