I've tried a load of these sites, but they all make you put in the aspect ratio. If you don't know it, you can't compare other wheels.

Hmm... Just read this and it made me go and recheck my wheels, definitely 8.5 x 18's, so the 235 would be better.

So, when you were running 235 40 18's, how far out was your speedo to standard? 'cos that's another consideration too!

Usually I'm tighter than a shark's a***, but I think I can stretch to £6!

Interesting. The reason I was asking after 225's is that's what I was told the standard size is for the Audi RS2 (which is what the wheels came off). What I should be asking is, what is the standard tyre width, aspect ratio etc. for a T3, and use the tyre size calculator to find the right size! Anyo...

Cheers for that guys, good job I read through it again as I'd completely forgotten about the diesel spigot bearing in the end of the crank!
Pisser, I've just thrown the old diesel block out....

I'm on the vinegar strokes of my gti conversion, and have taken pics of every step I took (even the "feck" like yanking the input shaft out of the box when i removed the diesel engine!). If it helps, I'm gonna knock up a website on the process in a week or two when its done. The only probl...

What tyres are you running?
I got a set of 8.5 x 18 Porsche cup 1's and need to put 225 40 18's on. Problem is, all the tyres I've seen only have a load index of 88 or 93, and I heard you need at least a 97 for T3's. So how critical is this (is a 93 ok?), and what's your solution?
