how big?

[Nalleywhacker]

whats the widest tires you can fit on mkiv wheels? i

 

[BorHor]

For NA 255 or a little bigger if you can find them. Turbo. I have seen tires in the 300's on there. But nicely fit I would say 275 maybe 295 for the biggest.

Do you know how wide the wheels are? I don't remember what the stock wheels came, but your local tire dealer will let you know, and I'm sure Boris and a few others know also.


EDIT: Told you so.

Yup right. and +50 offset all around

 

[Nalleywhacker]

i allways thought the fronts looked a little bigger than the rears.

 

[rodel]

NA 16x8, 16x9
TT 17x8 17x9.5

[Keros]

I promise, they are 17x8 and 17x9.5, stock... as that that is what is stamped in the sides of my rims...

FYI...there are no 295's in 17" tires. Big gap from 285/40's, up to 315's! You can mount a 315 on a 9.5" rim, but it is not recommended. A seriously high hp car could break the bead, and spin the rim inside the tire! Not good!:nono::biglaugh:
