Will 16" Wheels With An Et13 Offset Fit Front Of My 1.6 Gti ?

[RonnieG 0]

I'm currently running a track use only 205 with a Mi16 conversion in a 1.6 Gti.

 

I have been offered a really good deal of some 195/50 X16 Yoko A048 track tyres with 3/4mm tread remaining on 16" wheels which are a Peugeot fitment but have a ET13 offset.

 

I know these will stick out a bit but will the ET13 offset & 195/50 X16 tyres still fit on the front of my 1.6 suspension setup without fouling anything ??

195 50-16 may be a touch tall, they are about an inch taller in diameter so may not fit on the rear without rubbing on the bumper, and may touch the spring pan on the front strut.

 

as you say they will stick out 12mm further than the 1.6 wheels, if they are 5.5" wide, if they are wider they'll stick out even more.

When your speedo read 70mph your actual speed will be 72.88 mph!

 

can you trial fit them?
