MK7 "Random / "Stupid" Questions Thread"

Ok, so I'm thinking way ahead, and probably thinking too much, but what are the options for snow tires for a 2021 GTI? Are 17" wheels at all an option, or won't they clear the brakes? I'm thinking smaller diameter wheels, because in my part of the world Winter = chuckholes and I figure more cushion would help. For my old Saab 900s, the winter wheels were generally narrower too.

Most 17" wheels should work fine.

Yes GTIs crush with 17’s and proper winter rubber, for a FWD car. They’re pretty damn good.

Actually there's not a lot of 17" wheels that will clear the front PP calipers.

Same here. And anytime I've called them got right through.
