What tires / Will they fit?

[AndyPt]

Hey guys, I'm new here, got a 92 gt2 with standard steel wheels on them just now, looking to get them changed for a set of ats cups as the front tires are now illegal.

The ats cups I've got a chance to get are 6j with an et of 35, will these fit and if so, what tires would be best for them?

Also, the car isn't lowered, yet.

Thanks guys.

I presume the ATS cups are 15" wheels, if so to keep the speedo accurate 195/50/15 is good.

Tyrewise it is a personal prefrence but me personally I would not go for a cheap brand and always fit makes such as Continental, Pirelli etc, they are the only things keeping you in contact with the blackstuff!

Yeah they're 15", so the et 35 is fine?

Cheers!

ET is spot on.

I have a similar set and run them on 195-45/15 Toyo Proxes - you might find that tyre/size makes the rear wheels look a little lost in the rear arches on a mk2 with a bodykit on - see my project thread for A20 GTX.

195-50/15 is a very easy tyre to source but I found they made parking speed steering a fair bit heaver than the 45's on a 6'' rim.

If you can track down a 185-55/15 tyre that will match the original tyre set up that big bumper mk2 Golfs ran when they switched the the similar size 6 x 15 BBS RA.

Okay thanks a lot. I've done a bit of looking around, and I can't actually find another set of 15x6 et 35 ats cups around, do you think the ones I've bought are reps?

Should of probably checked before buying!

Going for the 185-55/15 Toyo Proxes, Thanks!
