love ya Kielan but this is false... Falkens stretch for ish...they run fat, not narrow. Thus, a 195 will stretch like a traditional 205 in any Falken series outside of the ST115 (which is discontinued).

Gotta disagree man. Falken 512s run very small and stretch significantly more than any other tire I've seen and I speak from experience

[smokedvr6]

the tires are falken 512s. not sure how safe i feel about running a 15mm adapter...maybe 17mm for the front and move the 19mm to the back. so ill be at et8 front and et 6 rear...

IMO 205's belong on a 9

I have always heard that they run narrow, oh well. Just don't get Federal's now those, those are huge.

Got federals on my girls car, they look fine...

Get thinner adaptors or machine the back of the wheel down a little. Or both.
Failing that, run a lower profile tyre like a 40.

I'm not a fan of the rollerskate look on a MK4.
MK1's and MK2's pull it off much better.

I can also confirm from experience that Falken 512's run narrow, and they stretch beautifully. however their squirmy sidewall's, poor treadlife and noise have finally made me give up on them and go to Genera Exclaim's.

and for the love of god, DO NOT stretch Federals (as mentioned above) they stretch like GARBAGE, I have never seen a tire look worse stretched than the Federals.

In my experience on my friends Mk4, they stretched, but it did not look good at all, the sidewall on those tires is just too round. But who knows, maybe just a different tire in the Federal brand?

Yup, pretty much sums it up.

Never ever ever put 40 series 17s on a MK4
