taylorspug 7 Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) 195/50/15's will be your best bet if you are on a tight budget. Their popularity means they are reasonably cheap, prices starting from around £30 on mytyres.co.uk for a reasonable brand. If you were going to lower 60mm, maybe also look at 195/45/15, more expensive (expect to pay at least £45 a tyre), but would probably ensure no arch clearance problems. However i wouldnt recommend lowering the car that far as it will handle like a sack of crap. Edited November 21, 2006 by taylorspug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 21, 2006 Don;t forget the CTi's ride height is set for off road use so a 60mm drop is more like 35 compared to a GTi, Mine's been droped that much and is now the same height of a lowered GTI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
