Sam's car does have rolled/pulled arches too!

185/55/14 on stock arches rubs on the front bad on a 6x14 et 35 rim down 60mm from stock polo!  195/60 would barely turn!

Cheers Sam, I don't want to roll my arches, only non rotten ones I've had!!

Looks like I'm gonna be getting some major scrapage
195/60 would be too much!
Seen a pic of petes car on 195/45 toyo's and the bulge seems a bit more to my liking, more rounded and motorsport like
The kumho's were awesome, but they had no bulge at all, was just like a flat side wall, think they were 175/60

Toyo do a really good deal 4x 195/45 r14 for £250!!!! Found some from a good company
Or 195/55 r14 in another make, think they both look decent.
The toyo's seem to have a bit more of a bulge even for a smaller size
Thanks for the pics people

Yoko's my mistake, that means that deal I found :(
Ok going to go for 195/45 yoko, shouldn't be that much more expensive :)
Minimal arch gap, wheels studs with some cool ass nuts and spaced right out, reckon it will look awesome!

Talyor my tyre size is 195/45 with a 60mm drop at the front, 40 rear.

The only problem i get is slight scrub on full lock with the stage 3 frame.

I was looking into these for a few track days, reckon they will be scrubbing then?

Think my alloys are ET38 14" 6J

5mm spacers should sort the frame, depending on your geometry.

They look epic jezza!! Love the tread pattern on the r888 too! Just a shame they are nearly £500 for 4!! Might save up. Would have some epic grip! I couldn't fault the track day kumho's I had when I went round Switzerland, even in the wet the grip was phenomenal!! Suppose that's the difference between road and track tyres

Yeah that's cool, I've got 5mm spacers for the front and 20mm for the back anyway, and if that's not enough I will be getting bigger ones

Ordered 195/45 r14 toyo proxes, £250 from jjc race and rally, bargain! The wholesale people we use for work could only go down to £350!!
They look awesome! Exactly what I was after :) the side wall is great! Cheers peeps
I'll get some photos up :)

Jezza,

I have them on my g40, they are an insane amount of grip and you can get them in different compounds i have the mediums.

they are cheaper from ears online.
