#1: Low Profile Tyres for Nimrods Author: 20Drift, Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 10:51 am ---- Hi Guys,
Looking at buying some Nimrods, however looking for low profile tyres. My dad's car has 255/35/r18 tyres on it, and I quite like the profile.
I tried finding 205/35/r16 tyres, however I don't think they sell them in the UK, only Europe - can anyone recommend maybe a smaller width that would give the 35 profile look?
Cheers!

I had 165/40 for some nice stretch

Do you have a pic by any chance? Just trying to get an idea of how they will look

Do some reason I.e look at other people cars on Nimrods and see what they're running as it'll save you a lot of heartache, hassle and agro later down the line.

Most Pugs with the 16" nimrods use 205/45R16 as they are standard so just find a GTi or CC and you'll probably find what you are looking for.
I can also recommend blackcircles and mytyres ...
and avoid Kw*kfit unless you want them to break your car for you ... they ain't cheap either .. unless you want rubbish budget tyres. (They also only offer a discount after they jack the prices up! or not available on their internet site).
