Hi, Ive bought the BBS RX2 GTI alloys wheel, just finished the refurb and im wondering what tyre to get. I havent dropped the car yet, was thinking of 40mm All round,.. Im thinking between 195/45/15 , 195/50/15, 205/45/15 or 205/50/15. would a 50 profile on a 205 width rub against the arch or anything>?
Thanks

195-45-15 is the standard GTI size & what most others will use. If you go to 205 it will foul the arch & if you use a 50 profile & you intend to lower it, you will end up rubbing.
