Thanks Tim. I think i'll go for 195/45s. I had proxes but i sold them... wouldn't mind having them again.
any other brand you can recommend?

yeah they're 7J wide.

I wouldn't wana put 165/50s on as i don't really like the stretched look!! :oops: I'm waiting for it... lol

yeah the arch gap is pretty huge. thinking a 60 drop on 195/45s would be fine!!

My gti looks like that at the moment! lol
I would say that pic, that car has no engine as there is no way it should be that high!

IF your going get stretch on the 7j rim, I'd advise a set of bridgestones, give a nice stretch! I'll get a nice a few pics up got a set yesterday!
