Hi Pete
The stock alloy wheel on a 1st gen MK2 is 13" x 5.5J
The opt size for this rim is 165 you might squeeze on a 175 but a 165 would probably perform better.

Min rim widths Toyo state are a bit skimpy, but there you go...

Yeap according to Toyo.
I looked up the rim width then used a tyre calculator, so that is probably using road tyres that tend to have a rounded wall.
Toyo having a squarer wall will give you a bigger width, have look on Rich\'s link to Toyo.
Which incidently we have just started stocking there tyres.

Thanx Gary.
Looks like I will be getting a full set of those. Some Hawk blues and disks will be ordered after my rebuild. Shame the company I will be using can’t do it till mid September. :(
