Hi all, any recommendations for tyre sizes when going from stock 14” to 15” Fuchs style wheels?

You really need to mention what size the wheels are.

May be not specifically address your question - but see the links below that discuss VW wheel rims & tyres.
Useful links;

This stuff is a little dated and with a USA bias, but I found it interesting reading.

There are also many internet tyre sizes calculators available to help match tyre OD dimensions when changing rim sizes and tyre profiles

I believe you can get 4 1/2", 5 1/2" and 6" in 15"

It will hake a difference in what tyre you select

The wheels are 911 style 15 x 5.5 inch. My calculations are that 205/60R15 would have negligible effect on overall diameter for the speedo, but I'd like to go to 215/60R15 on the rear. Just wondered if anybody has these to confirm no clearance issues.
