GTXTRA - I've just re-read your post and looked at your thread - if I am understanding correctly, you had it lowered 40mm on 195/50s?
Did you have to modify the arches, and did it rub?
I don't want to go any lower than that really.
Got the new wheels on now and wondering what to do - looking at ...

Re: Wheels and rubbing
GTXTRA, do you think 195/50s would be ok on standard suspension? There's only 1cm in tyres depth after all? I thought if it’s fine lowered say 40mm on 195/45s that I’d get away with 30mm on the 195/50s?

Re: Wheels and rubbing
Thanks guys - both really helpful
I’ve been looking online and came across A16 GTX and thought it looked good so good to know your wheel and tyre sizes
I’ve also seen H143 RET although that had rolled arches

Re: Wheels and rubbing
I'd want £800 minimum, which seems a bargain compared to some on eBay.
If you're interested, can you give me you're email - I'm struggling to upload photos on here.

Re: Wheels and rubbing
Thanks for the reply.
I will be selling my BBS RS once the new wheels are fitted - if you're interested I can send you some photos.
They're very nice - just not brand new as the rest of the car looks.

Wheels and rubbing
Hi all - I have an immaculate K reg Scirocco GT2 which is currently on a set of 15x7 BBS RS on 195/50/15 tyres.
I love the wheels but they let the car down as they are not immaculate, so I’m considering some Ronal LS or similar.
Does anyone have any experience with these or similar? They are 7.5 ...

Engine troubles
Hi guys. I'm new to all these forums, but I could do with some advice from someone who understands all things Scirocco!
I have what I believe to be one of the best, original Mk2 Scirocco GTII's on the road, but it has been causing me some problems recently.I'm desperate to get it back on the road ...
