That's for the GTI. I have a Golf Diesel, that one had 145/80R13 as default. At least that is what i have found. The prevorius owner has replaced them by 185/60R14. I think he did this because of the replacing of the engine. Default is 1.6 liter and i have a 1.9 Turbo Diesel.

I'll try to get some 13inch rim from the scrapyard for testing.
