Hello, your car is very nice. I want to do this too, but there are very few people in Turkey who do such projects. I would be happy if you could help me. Have you upgraded your vehicle for tires and rims? Otherwise, in its standard state, max. Do you have any idea what size tires and rims should be used?
Hahaha my friend, your little helper is adorable! She deserves a raise 😂 But tell me, I was looking here at your channel, and I couldn't find the follow up video about those tires. Also I was wondering... you got I think you said 225s, and I was wondering if it would potentially fit something like a 265/70R16, or even a 265/75R16. Looking on the video, it seems there's still a lot of space in those wheel arches, but I can be wrong. What you say?
She's grown too fast 😎 I think 265 would be too big. Best way to check actual size is go to one of the websites that have a comparison option eg. tiresize.com/comparison/ I just performed a quick check and 265/75/16 would be 3 inches greater diameter than the 225 setup. The gearing will be out by quiet a way so Speedo and DSG will be all out but you could give it a go. A cheap option to try is just do the front to test out. Would look monster. Let's us know what you decide. You can do it 👍
Hi, I’ll do a full video soon. As a quick update. They are great in mud and loose snow. Rubber compound is hard so they are not super grippy on ice. On the motorway they are loud when you first put them on but you get used it. Fuel economy takes a hit. They look good. You can do it 👍

You always check with your specific tyre that it meets your vehicles requirements but these are fitted to trucks and alike so you can get the right load rating. You can do it 👍
Hi there, great look with new tires. I'm watching this video year after you published it. Just wondering if you can share your finding after driving for few months and over the winter months. Increase in diesel consumption, handling, grip, etc. Thank you in advance.
