You'll want 195/45/15's James.

Same as what the GTi has as standard :D

Mine are 15" 7inches wide with 195/50/15 tyres and scrub the plastic arches turning hard. Changing to 45 should fix this tho.

As above 195/45/15 tyres are what you need. That is what is fitted as standard to the GTi as Tom has already pointed out, and its what I'm running on my current G60s and my next set of BBS :wink:

You can fit the 195/45s to a 7" rim with no issues at all, and can also fit them to an 8" rim but they would need stretching IIRC.
