Still no bids! Would need new tyres for a 306 though

why?

[Scott]

With 16s which have 205 wide tyres, they need to be 45 profiles, so 205/50/16 will be too large, as will 225/45/16. The two sets will actually have a completely different rolling radius which will mean that the 225/45/16s will be bigger which will also look weird.

A friend was running her gti6 on 50profile 16s she didnt have any problems, she was lowered 30mm on eibach's

[Scott]

But were they 205 wide or 195s? 195/50/16 is fine

[Fozzy]

Pass...

I have no idea she has sold the wheels now.

Just found the for sale thread they were 195's

[Scott]

Ah yeah That's the correct size to keep the same circumference as standard tyres

By the way those wheels are PORN. Love MO5s

What you ACTUALLY need is 194/40 16, regardless of width.

40 profiles cause a dodgy back. Fact. When I had them constantly banging around. 45 profile I nicer lol

all the more reason to get some super duper stretch on em. :clap:

[Scott]

To be fair there's actually a small amount of stretch with 205/45/16s on a 7j alloy...looks pretty smart IMO

195/45/16 Is ideal, it's what I had on my sp's they were on 205/50/16 when I got em and they rubbed when giving it proper beans down the private lanes
