Hello all new member here, I have a 5dr 100 Kensington SE that am looking at fitting a 1.8 (Non VVC) TF engine along with Metro GTi wheels, brakes, suspension and ARB's.

I would like to get the 7 spoke GTi alloys but the 185/55/13 tires are difficult to get, is it possible to use 195/55/13 instead? New to the world of modifying cars so any input about any of the above (like if the spec I would like to do is even a good idea etc) would be appreciated, thanks Ian.

Might rub on the rear radius arms, not 100% sure to be honest. I run 175 50’s. 185 60’s rub slightly but a quick grind sorts that.

I'll look into 175/50 then, thanks for the help
