195? that's interesting I thought the normal tyres were 205/45. I wonder if a 205 will fit in the spare wheel well?

The normal ones are yeah, but it's just a spare so doesn't really matter as much. Anything is better than a space saver!

Thanks, I take it the 15" fits over the bigger GTI brakes then. That's good to know.
