#1: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: joshgti, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:26 pm ---- I havent decided on whether to get new wheels as well as tyres or weather to save some dollar for better suspension...So my question is would a set of parada spec 2 195 50 15 fit the standard Gti Foudre wheels which are 6J. Would this squish them together to much??

#4: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:16 pm ---- 6J is fine for 195/50/15 and 195/55/15.

And 6J is the standard width of the Gti wheels as far as i know.
Cheers for the advice

#8: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 3:47 pm ---- well back to the days i got my parada 2 35 quid per corner and i got massive wheel spin until 4th gear (dry)
and in wet is just horrible, at some point i am struggle to follow a van under heavy rain (only 60mph)
still got at least 5mm thread on them but next set of tyre i will get something more all round.; and probably not Japanese tyre anymore. Probably something like CPC 5 as i am very impressive when i used TS830 before.

like i said that was ages ago.
mobile tyre fitter in leeds, fitting and balancing is an extra 10 quid per corner.
#11: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: joshgti, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 5:06 pm ---- Im getting the paradas for £42.50 + Vat a corner fitted. Slightly more than the cheapest i could find online but these are fitted and at a local tyre fitter. I think the Paradas may have changed too.
#12: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 5:15 pm ---- that price was alright.
they were good during the first 6 month or so and then it went downhill a lot.
did you tried mytyre or etyre or black circle?
#13: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: joshgti, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 6:38 pm ---- Like i said they were a bit cheaper but once iv payed a garage something to fit them there's not much in it.
Probably easier to pop to my local Bathwich who my dad uses for all his garage customers so get looked after there
#14: Re: 195 width tyres on 6J gti wheels? Author: M60SHW, Location: CarlislePosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 1:44 am ---- I believe this is the cheapest you can get toyo t1r's and iv been impressed with them so far, and for drag racing there on the money did better than my semi slicks haha
