Need some help with tyre size.

[Kristian]

Just bought some steelies as a little project. The steelies are 16", 6.5j (5x100)

I want low profiles, but the wheels are quite thin, what would people suggest?

Thanks

Lol he said low profile not a 55 sidewall.

I say 165/40/16

 

[Kristian]

would 165 give stretch and would 195's fit?

Take a look at this site.

You want to keep the overall size as close to the stock size.

Usual size for the golfs with 16" wheels is 205/55/16.

Is this a typo? You said you got 16" steelies? You can't put 17" tires on a 16" wheel...
