G60 steelies

[RDMaxwell]

Guten tag mein Dubbers,

I have managed to score some G60 15" steel rims for my MK2 and I was wondering what rubber to put on them?

Thinking 195x45's..... Would these be too wide, too low profile?

Cheers

Those wheels were designed for running M+S tyres, these would have been 185/55-15 on a GTI G60 and most likely 205/50-15 on a Rallye. I have been trying a while to remember what was on the Fahrzeugbrief that came with my GTI G60 as that stated what was allowable.
For me you could get away with anything between 185/55 to 205/50 and not be wrong. I personally always ran 195/50s. 45 series will probably affect the speedo reading too much.

Thanks Gavin!

I think I will go for 195/50 option and lower the car about 20mm, should look shweet.

Cheers
