  • More help required :) this time with tyre sizes

    I just got some new 17" rims for the GTi but am a bit messed up for tyre sizes, the car currently has 195/50R15's on it and a move to 17's would require the profile to go down by 20 ie 195/30R17. trying to find a 30 profile tyre for a 17" rim is driving me nuts. has anybody used a 40 profile tyre and if so has it messed up your speedo?

    No such size as 195/30 you could try 205/35 plenty of those about.

    17"s are a bit big for a MK2 so it will put your speedo out as they are 3" bigger than stock.

      Check with Ausgolfer, he's currently running 17 inch wheels on his mk2:

      - Mk2 Golf GTI 16v, 2-door, Tornado Rot, BBS RS, 1988 - SOLD
      - E30 325i Coupe, Manual, Alpinweiss
      - E30 325i Touring, Manual, Diamantschwarz x 2
      - On the lookout for another E30 325i Coupe, Manual (red would be nice)...
