Unhappy Diameters

Man, this forum rocks!

Ok, some good points above. Philippe, how low are you dropped?

Although I have/will have a Puma adjustable front beam, it will be left in the normal ride position. I figured since I needed a new beam anyway, might as well be adjustable, even if I have no immediate use for it.

Anyway....DIAMETERS.

I belive the stock VW tires were around 25". Most of the 195/50's are in the 22.x range. And low-pros 205 215's for the rear are in the 23.x" range.

Although clearence and non-rubbing is priority one. Will these profiles be too low with only a 2.5" / 2" drop. In terms of visually filling the wheel well.

Ok, now I am confused. The only for sure thing I currently have / own are Fuchs 15x6 and 15x7 wheels. I am open to any / all suggestions.

Priority's: No rubbing (stock fenders / stock beam / short axel swingaxel) & Performance Handling.

Thinking size in terms of tire section width and diameter.

Help,
