I've got some RS reps coming. They are 16x7 - whatever the 7 means. I'm running standard height at the moment but it will probably go to most likely 20-30mm lower. What tyre size would you run? 195/40?50? And what tyres Toyo Proxes TR-1 seem to be in my budget, of about 50 a corner. What else?
195/45/16 will be fine on a 7" wide rim. Assuming road use I've been buying Uniroyal Rainsports for the last couple of years - been very happy with them especially, as the name suggests, in the wet.
I've goT them on my current wheels and they are fantastic but they are a bit pricey in this size I was looking at the wrong size 45 a corner, look what I'm ordering
i have used both on my golf in the same sizes, would recommend either. i dont think you will have any stretch at all on a 7'' wide rim using 195/45/16
16" clear 312mm brakes on my mk4 gt tdi But you may need a spacer, dependent on offset and wheel design.
You'll have an ever so slight stretch with the tyres in that size on that width of rim but really it's negligible and hardly noticeable. I have this size tyre currently on my RS722 rims on my Mk3.
