Anyone running 205/55/16s

As above really....

Tyre size calculator thing says it'll put my speedo out about 6 - 8 % too slow, don't really like the sounds of that but I just wondered if any of you people were running 16s with this size tyre

:D

I tried 16" with that tire on it, just too see how the wheels would look, and with H&R -30mm lowering it rubber easily in front. Too big.. I'd say that 205/50 is max for 16".

I am thinking about 205 50 16's for my next set of tyres as I think it may help with the ride quality, and they are a lot cheeper in that size too

anyone?

I would like to put some standard steel wheels on for the remaining winter months.

Will the above wheels, from a beetle, fit?

Just worried the wrong offset and tyre profile may cause problems.

Thanks! :)

Could anyone tell me the offset of the standard 16" Ibiza alloys? (FR if that makes any difference)

Thanks

Cheers mate, I may have to take the wheel off to double check.

Anyone know for certain?
