BBS Mahle - which tyre

Post by nuke laars »

As above. BBS Mahle 13" 6J what size tyre is best? Looking to give it a 30-40mm drop, want to avoid any stretch as will be run daily and want some rim protection (amongst other reasons).

Thanks in advance.

I have 205/60 13 on mine 6j, when I replace I would go for 185.
If interested I will sell these.

The original tyre size fitted to these would of been 185/70/13, but as mentioned above 205/60/13 fits good aswell.
