195 rub on the rear arch so 185 would be ideal just to tuck under there but i dunno what the nankangs are like

oh right, you're not running et49 wheels either are you, why dont you get your arches rolled with one of those machines you'l have no scrubbing issues ever again then
after a bit of trying i managed to tuck 17's with no scrubbage just for fun here's a photo lol oh and nankang's are ok for budgets yes they use them in the stretched vw scene at times.

dont know never had proxes. i didnt wana fork out on mint tyres cause i dont need them and i didnt want any old cheap poo so they suited what i wanted really, they are grippy tbf thou, they dont wheelspin as much as my old cheap tyres did.. well worth the price i payed £37.50 a tyre

have had both tires but the nangkangs on a mitsubishi with 17's.. nangkang ns2 were grippy bit they didn't last long..
toyo proxes poo tire in rain.. all else i was really pleased about it.
Don't tink you can compare the nankang's with a toyo really.
Im now running falkon zeix ze912 195 45 15 and they'r better than a toyo proxes in my opinion. Good on dry and wet surface but i think they would not last long
cause they ar pretty soft.

Thanks For the advice Guys but I've been reading reviews on VW sites about stretched tyres and alot of people use the potenzas so i might go for them also I got a Deal to get the Potenzas for £62 each fitted and balanced

True, just thought id try something different just to compare, they wont be so much for performance but just to avoid the horrendous rubbing without modifying the arches

Back to square one again, might just get the nankangs because 195 is too wide
