Hi guys
What size tyres are you all running on standard 14" carat alloys.
What wheel nuts or studs?
Who sells centre caps?

I have the VW pepperpot alloys they are the same size as the carats. my tyres are 205x70x14s
You don't need longer studs and bolts. But I did a stud conversion on the fronts.
Brickwerks sell the caps.

I've got Carats and yes they are 205/70 R14. I have Nexen CP661 98T XL tyres fitted and they've been fine. The Semperit Comfort-Life 2
205/70 R14 98 T XL were a comparable option at the time. But I bought them years ago and maybe there are some better options now?

Hi, does anybody have a pic of the Carat alloys please? I have a set of genuine vw alloys and thought they were the Carats, clearly not as they are fitted with 185 r14 80.
Thanks.
