Have you got new wheels on your car as it had 15 inch rims last time I saw it?

Try a post in the 'buying and selling spare parts' section....might get a better response.

cheers

do u know what size the rims are coz thats not a real common size
if theyre just 14x6 go for 185/70 or 195/70 as they are nice and cheap and handle well on a vw

yep... I just bought 2 Europa 185/70's for the front of the Kombi ( sidewall blew out when the tyre was being reinflated after a repair so I bought what was cheap) from the Bridgestone center in Nowra... $150 for the pair fitted and balanced, and they grip and handle very well, even tho they realisticly are a little small.

Should work a charm on a bug! :bounce:

185 is almost as skinny as Kate Moss, so they shouldnt hang out past the guard at all... if they do ya got the wrong rims so therefore ya need to take em off and fit a set of pontoons and an 80 horse Mercury outboard motor! 👍
