Potential RS's for my Mk2

**Vista** · 11-07-2010, 10:48 AM

Hey all,

Just had the opportunity to get a set of BBS RS033 15x6.5 et34 sent over

. Car is at stock height at the moment, so would it be a waste of time to get these without lowering the car at the same time? Also, what kind of rubber would these need?

The alternative I'm thinking of is getting a set of BBS RA's, as I've seen a few Mk2's running these at what seems to be standard height.

What do you lot think? I'd appreciate your opinions!

Cheers!

What stud pattern are they??

If they're 4x100 they'll fit nicely, RA's are the same size at 15x6.5, so they look good too.

I'd get the RS and lower it at a later date, they'll still look the biz at stock height..

195/50/15 or 195/45/15 (lower profile) would work well...

Yeah, they're 4x100 and never drilled.

They look in reasonable condition. Here are a couple pics.

what G60 said... you dont want to go too skinny of a tyre as it would look to skinny under the mk2 guards, id personally go a 185/45 on a 6.5 wide nankang makes that size in a NS2, also id get petter quality pics of the lips and centers, they looks pretty scratched up and looks like the clearcoat is also lifting

cheers

Yea I wouldn't worry too much about it being stock height, it'll still look reasonable, although I reckon with say 40mm drop (just springs) it'd probably look alot better. A 195/45 or 185/45 is the tyre of choice, imo.

Cheers guys. All this is really appreciated. Getting more pics sent before closing the deal.

Tyre choice sorted! And I'll think about dropping it over time.

Thanks again, and I'll keep ye updated.
