just want to agree with dumptruckface (feel a bit abusive callin ya that) myself if I had 14's
I can get all techy but in all honesty, I cant be arsed to type all that, I've squeezed 12" wide x 17 diameter rims with fairly large tyres on my Aircooled t25 with no suspension mods apart from it being lowered -70 & it looked awesome but the syncro is expensive to fix so I don't want to stress it "too much"
at the end of the day we all like "the look" of a chunky syncro and want to get as close to that as possible but........I want mine to have the abuility to get me out of the crappy stuff when I need it too (driver ability aside, which offroad experience for me is slushy farm tracks/brooks, nowt else)
personally I'd like to keep close to the factory recommended tyre diametecwpr but a wider tyre than stock for "the look" as my syncro is a low use vehicle! element what ya reckon all
or to put it another way what tyre size on a 16 will give the look but if I fancied a mess about on the offroad section at Busfest (probably with a mangers or two in the system) I wouldn't want to be swapping rims n tyres on the day, I'm being straight up honest here, vw will havw built a little more tolerance in the drivetrain than the stock wheel/tyre I'm sure.....
mine is the 4.53 cwp
