Post

Back to the top
Hi just bought a set of Image Rs7's for my berg cup build. Car is a 83 gti and would like to get tires the same rolling radius or close as to original. The wheels are 15s, 8inch fronts and 10.5 rears. Tried a few calculators but got a few different results any input would be great thanks in advance.

195/50/15 or 185/55/15 are factory rolling radius for mk1, just need to work from there to get tyres suited for your wider rims :)
