Any opinions? Anyone running 195/50? Looking at the Bridgestone my01 ( I work for Bridgestone! So I have to tie the company line! Lol

I'd really like to hear what your guys opinions are ant what your running on your 15"!!

This? 185/45/15 on Ronal Series 1 Turbo 15x7 et 28





As low as it can go without notching the subframe for the driveshafts.

I have run 195/50 before and is common with my of the normal type fitment wheels 15" 6.5/7" et28 etc. Pretty chunky though in comparison to the styles of today, more practical and I would use that for a semi slick if I intended to get some.

Yeah but I can only get 185/45/15 in nankang..... I don't like huge stretch..... Just a little stretch.. My main set of wheels I'm running will be 15x7 et30.... If I have too I can get 165/50 bridgestones..... I have plentiful access to 195/50 or 185/55 Tyres but!!

Did it rub when you ran 195/50?

You need to roll your guards if you go low, on 195 it tore them to bits before they the guards were 'trimmed' with a grinder (but I had GTI flares on as well that needed to be cut as well)

Here is my car with the 15x6.5" BBS with 195/50

if you want to go low, get the 185/45 to avoid issues.

if you want to go really low and spacer hte wheels out a bit, get 165/50.

[TSIfan]

Mmmm.... I think the 165's might be the go....

[TSIfan]

Bought 165/50 bridgestones! Thanks for the advice guys!!

[ffoff]

I've got 165/50's on my 15x7's. It doesnt seem to stretch much but it looks good!

[TSIfan]

That's good then!! I don't want big stretch!!
