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

thanks alot...but when its set to 215 50 15 the Difference in Diameter = 3.65 %

which is they not recommend to do....but when it 215 50 15 .... amazingly the difference is 0 %

http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator - i set the original as 175 70 13

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
