Wheels, Brakes & Tyres / Re: Can I have bigger tyres or should I stick to same size?

Thanks!

Given that Monkey was on similar shocks/springs set up then hopefully I will manage with the bigger tyres. I'm on the 195/45 at the moment so guess I could lower the car 1st and see what I think. Only issues is my front tyres are quite worn down and I'd worry about getting points if I was driving it about

Hi,
That's helpful to know. Were you on the eibach springs as well?
I am driving a 5 door - I wondered if that meant the car would end up being slightly lower.

Hey

Thanks for replying - that's really helpful. Your tyres look like a great fit. Would difference would I see with my wheels being 7.5j instead of 6j?

Also how much of a drop did you notice from the Eibacj pros?

Thanks for the help

Hello - are any fellow Mk2 Golf owners able to help?
I have a 5 door 1990 mk2 golf with 7.5j x 15 et25 wheels.

I will be fitting Eibach pro lowering springs and Bilstien B4 shocks which will lower the car by around 20/40mm.

I am looking to replace my tyres (currently 195/45R15).

I was looking to find out if anyone else has the same set up and what tyres they might be riding? Be good to find out if I can go much bigger - I just want to ensure they wont rub when I fit the springs.

Thanks
