Tyre sizes- Lowered Squareback

Post by Stebbo66 » 31st October 2016 - 7:11pm

Hi I'm new to this forum I've just brought myself a squareback which has been lowered but would like to lower it abit more. Can anybody tell me what size tyres would I need on standard steel rims when lowered? Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum & to Type 3 Ownership!
(I've altered Your Thread Title)
That's a fairly impossible to answer Question, without knowing How many splines it's already been lowered, but have a look at Other People's cars & Hopefully someone will give You some guidance.
Perhaps You might post a pic to show How it is at the moment?

This is how it currently sits, rear is almost stock with the from down a tad!?
Looking at putting the standard 15" steelies back on so just need some help withtyre size and how low I can go 'Static' without issues!?

It has shorter after market shocks on it as I believe it was lower in the past but raised by previous owner as he had issues getting it on his drive.

All advise welcome.
