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

take one of your wheels off and measure the distance from the mounting flange to the lip of the rim straight across from one side of the wheel to the other....straight edge, from the back of the wheel.. This will be the back space...for a VW wheel it is about 4". for a 914 spec wheel it should be about 4.75"
