If it's good enough for Bernd Jaeger it's okay. He sell a convesion where the fronts are 215/65 R15 and the rears are 235/70 R 15. That keeps the speedo accurate but lowers the revs. See here - http://www.syncro-bernd-jaeger.de/ENGLISH/Schneller/schneller.html thanks. that link shows the AZEV-Alloy...

Hi I'v put bigger tyres on the back of my t3, 205 r 16 , It seems to be easier on the engine driving it around town Not that over reving on the engine . Up and down little hills in south shields And using the Sat nav for the speed as there is quite a bit of difference from the Speedo what profile, ...

I have looked at an archived discussion stating that 16 x 7j 33os is fine for t25. would this still be the case with 215 60 16 on front and 215 75 16 on th rear?

Thanks
James

I have a v8 t25. I want to improve the gearing as currently 2000rpm = 40mph with 16" 60 profile tyres. Is the flipped Audi box the best candidate ? Is the final drive better than the best standard t25 box? Will it mate to the vw adapter on my engine? What other bits are required? Doea a company...

Sounds like I will get away with it. I could always get gas shocks if the back bottoms out. Should give me just over 10% better final ratio

That's what ' have now all round and thought 80 at the back. Will I get clearance with 7j?

Ideally you want to match the factory diameter tyres so your speedo is accurate. VW fitted 185/82 14", so with a 16" height, 7" width wheel you can have a 205/60 16" tyre which is within a mm of factory dia. and I'll recommend 32psi & 34psi f/r tyre pressures. Sent from my i...

Whats the maximum tyre wheel combination that can be fitted with a standard suspension height. I currently have 16" 7j rims and am guessing van 80 profile tyres. I am trying to achieve a better ratio as have a big engine that revs high Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk https://uploads.tapata...

Hi

So if I buy 19 x 8 et 42 what spaces would I need? If the ride height is standard would these fit without fouling?
Thanks in advance
