As sujjy said, stay with 45s, but I'd go for lower than 195 imo, as lily said, 185-45 (if there is such a size). 195's always look too fat, also it'll sort your scrubbing issues out meaning moar lows ;) :love:

would never run lower than a 195 on a mk2 ibiza IMHO, and never did, don't try and stretch on a 6J, stretch only when you need to (to legally get a wheel on) ;)

so the 40s would not help the scrubbing issue then ?

ohhhh decisions decisions i will look into it more in a few weeks to be honest thinking of changing the 20s to 15s to sort the scrubbing issue out eather that or never have passengers in her then i dont have the problem to contend with :)

No, 40's would. but profile will be lower, making the wheels look smaller and might not fill the arches very well, and ride will be harder. But you never know, could look good :)

then whats the point in putting a thinner tyre on Arun ;) lol
Balloony depends on tyre make and sidewall, my Toyo T1-R's never looked balloony, looked spot on, same with the Falken 452's I had on the multispokes too :)

It will give a smaller sidewall Kezz, but if its scrubbing that bad, just put it up a little bit, find a good compromise :)

Oh that's not too bad then, just (wo)man-up ;) lol

You know what I meant, I'm tired and talking jibberish x




WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU SUJ



I prefer old suj :(

Lol, nothing wrong, I just realised it was stupid running "that" low....but then again you know I am into track days etc, so in hindsight, was a bit dumb going that low lol

PS I still like stance etc, but I don't think I would run it again, unless I got a mk1 golf gti, but then i'd want it on the track...god damn hahaah

Kezz - you know when you throw yours into corners, does it scrape your arch liners? Mine does :(, and sends my OCD out of the window! :p
