Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I'd go with the 2nd ones, the detroits (huff replicas). They look nice and very OEM but i have not seen many done it Oz
The 3rd ones have been done to much.White Scirocco R

Have you guys noticed any change in the speedometer readings with the upsize of wheels?Comment

Not that i'm aware of, although i didn't have our 16's on long enough to really notice much of a difference anyway.White Scirocco R

Ended up sticking with the 16s as I didnt want to hurt fuel economy or acceleration .. So I fitted some brand new Kumho KU31s which were awesome on my mx5
Do new tyres need to be worn in? Cos with the ku31s the steering is now too light with no feel... And I'm doing wheel spins now on fast acceleration which isn't comforting ..
Anyone know wtf. Is going on?
I kinda regret no getting a set of 17" Fox rims with some Falkens for 500 or so extra...2012 MY12 Octavia RS Wagon

Assuming you've done more than 50km on the Kumhos (so that the release agents have well and truly worn off), then check your tyre pressures - it sounds like they're much too high.
Shouldn't change more than a couple of % (up or down) if you choose the correct width/profile tyre to go with the upsized wheels.Originally posted by Boon View PostLast edited by kaanage; 31-07-2011, 08:11 PM.Resident grumpy old fart
