Title: Winter Tyres
Post by: ajwhite12 on November 19, 2014, 04:52:33 pm

I have the 17inch alloys on my mk5 GTI,

does anyone know whether 225/45 R17 sized winter tyres would be a good size and fit ok?

Thanks

225/45R17 is the standard tyre size for the Mk5/6 17" Monza wheels so yes they would be the correct size. Check the load rating obviously but I'm sure they'll be fine.

If you have standard GTI brakes then OEM 16s with 205/55/16 also fit and keep the speedo accurate
