    Largest size tyre running on standard 15" wheel

    Just got asked a question about what the maximum size tyre your able to run on the standard 15" wheel off a 2.0 TDI Mk V.

    So, what size tyre did you use as a replacement?

        195/65x15?

        215/60x15 will fit nicely.

        If it was me I'd scan the forums & eBay for some 16" or 17" alloys with reasonable tyres - will probably cost about the same as new tyres

        like this or this

        For Audi whels, take of the Audi logo & add a VW badge

            An interesting point.

            I am still umming & arring about 16s for our yet to be delivered 1.9TDI. I know Goodyear make a sporty tread 195/65X15.

            I'm not sure that the 16s will actually make (an extra) $2000 worth of difference.
