OK, picking myself up a set of audi tt competitions nrxt week, want a nice low profile tyre but not too low profile, just enough to make the tyres look wide and show off the alloys better, anyone got any recomendations? they are 225/45/17 at the moment, dont look to fly if you know what i mean.
Hi I have a set of 205 40 17 on my wheels ATM and I'm looking to get some tyres the size you have would you be interested in a swap or selling yours once you get
New tyres ?
The pictures arn't the best. Ill go borrow one from wallaces build to get a better look at the 225s. From the pictures the difference between 225 and 215 doesnt look like much but in real life it's enough. There is a thread on VW vortex devoted to mk4's on TT comps. 30 odd pages. You will find everything you need to know in there.
Ill try get a picture of a 225 tyre beside my 215s at the weekend if i remember.
To run the 205/40/17's you need to be slammed. FACT

as said you have to be really low to pull off 205/40/17 thats what im running and personally i still dont think im low enough to look totally right and im hitting cats eyes on the motorway...
SNAP lol when i have some time i need to do myn two are really bad and these are old shot so worse lol going to sand down and just spray the inside and edges black/gunmetal
The guy I am buying the TT Comps off wont have them for a few weeks, he bought a set of rs6s in a classifieds and got them delivered, cracks in 2 of them, sick or what. the pictures in the ad are totally different than what he got delivered.
Rhe TT Comps need a bit of work, they have that milky flaking going on, so im gonna strip the lacquer back and polish them. I have a question tho. Do i lacquer them after I polish them? Will the lacquer take the mirror finish away and If i dont lacquer them, are they high maintenance to keep them looking mirrror finish?
Is this with the stock front ARB? I have set of comps coming and want my ride height to be the same as this (I have coil overs). And wondering if its drive shaft cashing teritory.
