Will They Rub

[stuart1298 6]

i have gti6 wheels on my car, been offered a set of cheap new tyres,

but they are 205 55 15 the tyres on the wheels are 195 55 15, do you think these will rub?

 

or will i be safe?

[welshpug 1,658]

yes they will rub like buggery

[stuart1298 6]

ok, will they go on the wheels tho? i dont mind getting thegrinder out, and some spacer

[timb1046 1]

the wheels are designed for 185 tyres. 205's will be able to be fitted, but its your decision wether you think that'll be safe or not.

I honestly don't think you'll make them fit without rubbing, if you do it will be a stupid amount of cutting.

 

With 205/50/15 it rubbed like mad using these arches:

[welshpug 1,658]

so? you were asking about tyres.....

[stuart1298 6]

OH sorry, got ya, i dunno what size tyres are on the xm, might have to pop buy the gargae n have a look

[welshpug 1,658]

they should be 205 60 15, so 205 55 15" will be fine.
