Tire Size Suggestion 13x6...BBS

[jgmgti]

I'm getting a set of BBS RA 179 13x6 ET13 for my upcoming 72 tii.

On a stock suspension w/Bilsteins,what size and brand do you folks recomend.My intended purpose is just light street driving for now.slowing down on the modified/autocrosser trackday thing for this season.

Thanks

185/70 would probably work best especially if your fenders are not rolled considering that you are putting on E21 offset wheels rather than 2002 offset (29mm ET) wheels. Some will run 205/60 tires on a 6" wheel but it is much better suited to a 7" wheel.

(OEM dia.= 23.4"; 185/60x13 dia.= 21.74") Other than affecting suspension geometry and speedo, it will lower your car almost 7/8" over stock.

Napes, thanks,185/70/13 seems to be the answer...I'm coming most recently from the modified MKI GTI world where the hot set up would be strangly 175/50/13 or 205/60/13 for auto x....This 2002 tii is to be my stocker grandpa-style occaisional driver
