Hi, i have read some other posts saying that i can replace my 165 15 tires with 195 65 r15's. I was wondering if anyone has the same wheels as me with the 195 tire size. Mine already seem close to the wheel arch lip in the rear. But there is still enough clearance to fit my fingers between. I attatched a pic of my car. Which wheels are these? Should the 195's fit and not rub. Thanks

your wheels appear to be the newer reproduction Rivs made by American Eagle....
If 165s are close to your fender lip you can just about bet the farm that you have the VW offset....195s will probably fit but you may need to make sure the fender lip is rolled up flat. I had a set of the Empi 8 spoke repros on my last 914 and had 195x65s that were a tight fit. And my fender lips were rolled. |
