Are spacers required? Whats reco tyre size?

I would say 205/40 is what is on in the pic. Like Dylan said also, that'll get pretty much factory rolling diameter.

not mine sorry.
think it had 205/45 on it at one point (too big in diameter) and 205/40s (much more suited to mk3 factory rolling diamters)
not sure which this photo is on

cool. from what i can see in various pics, net searches etc.. some are running 215/40 and most 205/40. Ideally id like as much rubber as possible under the guards without fouling. I take it no scrubbing issues on strut or guards with the 205's?

Thought id post a pic of them fitted. Needed to go a 205/40/17. Funnly enough, actually more comfortable than running the standard 15s. go figure???

can be the case.
old tyres, over inflated, or just tyres with stiffer side walls

in this case, tyres and brand spankers, got them fitted once i picked up the wheels, running 38psi
