From what i've read 205/225 is the best stagger you can go for on the Mk3.
If you put 235's on there, then there's a chance you'll balloon the tyre slightly and you'll get less of a contact area. Which is exactly what you don't want with that beast in the back.
I'm going for some 205/225 17" Toyo T1-R's and see how they last.
hi paul i have 8 inch rims with 205/40/r17 f 225/40/r17 r
Sounds like the 205 to 225 is the way to go thanks everyone
According to their website you cant get t1-r's in 225/40/17Originally Posted by OlberJ
are you going for 45's?

I came to the conclusion that i would need to run 16" rims if i wanted a better choice of tyres.
Edit: to keep roughly the correct circumference you would need:
205/45/16 & 225/40/16 (both t1-r sizes available)
or
205/40/17 & 225/35/17
