Chose the wrong tyres? Please Help!

A small drop was my next project. Just worried about the brake clearance.

This might work:
Bring nasty looking wheels to council tip.
Sell tyres and Monzas.
Buy these http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,84270.0.html
Fit the correct tyres 
Lower a wee bit with good springs.

Its the style of wheel vs standard height. Even a small drop wont improve things!

The biggest problem is that the wheels are too small, the fact that they are splits emphasises this and makes the tyres look like balloons.

Going to put the eagle f1's on my stock monzas hopefully they will look ok on them.

I was trying to stick with the tyre and wheel spec on my log book. Will fail the mot otherwise. Suppose i will have to keep the stock alloys for the mot and look for some 18's

You wont fail an mot

You will in Spain mate. The tyre spec is on the log book. You can pay about €300 to add a different spec wheel/tyre within their specifications. I doubt you can sun much of a stretch.

I've been wanting to get rid of the Chinese tyres that were on the car when i bought it. They are very noisy and not good in the wet. Hopefully the goodyears will be an improvement.

Ahhhhhh, sorry, thought you were uk based!

You don't see many modified cars here. Supposedly they mot is a PITA if you are modified.
