    Yeah the Mk2 will handle that size im just not sure if the rolling radius is right tho. I think youd be better with 215/50 R15's tho or your speedo will be out

    can anyone tell me what is the maximum size it can take without coming out the tire from the car....

    Not 100% sure on max width, you may be better asking on a rally forum. But most rally cars only use 205 wide tyres
