    what wheel/tyre setup are you running

    i was just wondering what is the more common specs on everyones wheel and tyre setups. i am looking to get wheels for my vr6 and due to dealing with one of perths "most experienced and recommended" tyre shops am cautious http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=31620
    , so before i go through this process again i thought it might be a helpful thread for all.
    i have read through the previous threads on fitment and offset but i think it would be helpful if there was a thread where ppl put up their exact specs.
    ie *wheel brand and model
    *wheel offset and pcd (and adapters if they were needed)
    *tyre brand and model
    *size and profile

    i know that these details are all through ppls personal threads but they are scattered all over the site and its a very time consuming process to look up individually
    im sure this type of thread would be helpful for all

    cheers dave

    I couldn't remember, so looked up a spec on the net. Could well be 17 x 7.
