mickeywheelspin Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi,I've just received my shiny new wheels but was wondering what size tyres to put on? The new ones are 13 x 5.5 but I can't take the sizes off the old ones as they're an odd assortment of wheel and tyre sizes thrown on to get the car home (it was bought as a non runner).It's a late Mk 3 spit and I'm trying to keep it fairly close to the original spec for now - I'll start playing with the setup once she's roadworthy.Thanks,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Standard size would be 155/13. With the wider 5.5J wheels a popular upgrade (which I have on my 1500) is 175/70/13, these give the same rolling radius as standard so your speedo reads correctly.Other people have fitted 175/65/13 & even 185/60/13, these will alter your gearing slightly.

Clive Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Def 175/70 IMHO. Work a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
