Wide tyres
russbost - 14/12/09 at 03:19 PM

Does anyone know of any road legal (IVA ok) tyres available in 16 &/or 17 inch diameters wider than 245/255?

Profile not too critical but is probs going to be 35 to 45 anyway at that sort of width.

cobra cooper tyres were the only ones i could find for my 15" diameter wheels. i forget the widths of mine, but they're about the same as yours

335/35R17's wide enough for you??

Search for Khumo V70A - they do really fat tyres in both 16 and 17" size

Aren't you suppose to have the chav "stretched" tyres now? You know, the ones that look as though they've been fitted to rims a few inches too wide!

I thought that was so they didn't catch the Nova's arches..

Have a look here, if you reduce to 15" rims they have some massive tyres.

Ouch! those 15" ones have some interesting prices!

Thanx for your efforts so far - if anyone has any more info please don't keep it to yourself!

hmmm tricky!

I can put you in touch with a cheap source of 18" tyres in up to 335 width, but no idea on 16 and 17's

russbost - 15/12/09 at 07:08 PM

I'm trying to avoid 18's simply due to their height & weight - the 15's would be great except for the price!!

Not just "look as though", they actually have been. An amazingly retarded fad that seems to affect VW owners more than most.
