i have 6 x 14" 185 50 14 is the correct size mate..ive got continental contisports...like glue on the road, wet or dry.
lowered 40mm but going 60mm at front. no rubbing anywhere.
Theyre all about the right size, I think the closest two are the top and bottom ones in real life (as opposed to the tyre size calc) but obviously the bottom ones are slightly more favourable in terms of grip. You might also find that 195/45/14s are cheaper than 185/50s bizarrely
My 185/50/14's were £40 a corner but i got a good deal off a mate.
But if you phone selecta tyres and enquire about some saying you have been quoted £40 each they will match it.
Nick at selecta tyres matched it for me.
Normal prices are around £50 a corner.
I would say 185-50's are the better ones. Although theres a lot more choice in 195-45's plus they are up to a tenner cheaper for the same make and series tyre !
Well with my saloon the back wheels are in the arches at 40mm (on inspection they could go lower with no scrubbing) and the fronts are still high so its gunna be 60mm on them. I would say 70mm should be ok without scrubbing using 185 / 50 (not sure about other sizes as i havent used them.
Enquire with mr Petts (pettsy) hes the whore of the forum *wheels and otherthings from what he was saying over the weekend..dirty boy*
he may have one or more than likely have some grubby old paper with one for sale.
I have 185/60/14's on at the moment and the speedo is dead on,according to my RAII I havn't got it past 80 yet, well not with the RA connected.
I was quite supprised by how fast the GT can go before it starts shaking/falling apart.
I'm so used to driving with 6 gears now that I keep trying to change from 5th, luckily reverse is not in the place 6th would be on the polo. Not like the unfortunate Honda Jazz I had as a courtesy car
I've got a set of 14" BBS alloys off a mk2 golf gti im running 185-50's and its not lowered but i get a bit of scrubbage on the front only a little bit thou, im pretty sure it rubs on the lip which the arch trim attaches to havent had chance to check yet.
