The right size. Plz help! Golf 7 1.6 TDI
I own a VW Golf 7 1.6 tdi 2013 and soon i will need to change tires, so i got myself 4 new rims from Magma j7 x 15 et 46, and i don't know if it's possible to mount the new rims whit a 205 65 15r tires, taking in account my type of car, or if it looks good whit 195 65 15r tires. Plz help!

Can't use them unless you mod the clocks to accommodate change in tyre circumference. Why not fit 205 60 15?
With them you probably won't need to do any work on the car (wings etc).
One note: I like the wheel but why 15 inch wheels? Surely 16s would cost the same and tyres are cheaper and look far less like a balloon.

Hello,
I hope that this excerpt from the registration papers for the Golf 7 (Sportsvan) helps a little.
Listed are the tire / rim combinations which are approved according to the COC papers (EC certificate of conformity).
195/65 R15 91H / 6Jx15 ET43
205/50 R17 93V / 6Jx17 ET48
205/55 R16 91V / 6Jx16 ET48
205/55 R16 94V / 6Jx16 ET48
205/55 R16 91V / 6,5Jx16 ET46
205/55 R16 94V / 6,5Jx16 ET46
225/40 R18 92YXL/ 7,5Jx18 ET51
225/45 R17 91W/ 7Jx17 ET49
The tire / rim combination you have chosen must therefore , at least in Germany , not be driven on the Golf 7 1,6 TDI without individual approval.

P.S.: The rims you choose look really good, but it could be that they do not fit, or not allowed.
As told above... These (nice!) wheels wont fit on your Golf...Problem ist that ET46 is not enough. The wheel will probably rub against the fenders, cause the are to much outside of the wheel-housing :-/
Menas, if you really want these Wheels on your car, the fenders have to be modified and of course a technical inspection is needed...well it would be needed here in germany at least

I was to an auto service and they fit! Now i'm going to get myself some new tires recommended by the mechanic 205/65 R15. And the papers to legally drive on German soil with this rims look like this?
You should have a close look what that document tells about YOUR Car! It might be legal to use them if you fullfill all requirements made in this document. One can be to modify the fenders for example.

OK it shows me this (see in picture below), my question is m i allowed to put on 205/65R15 tires?
You are allowed to use them if you meet all the requirements shown in the last cloumn (A02-A10 and E90 and EF0)
If all this points are fullfilled it is legal to use them.
Can't use them unless you mod the clocks to accommodate change in tyre circumference. Why not fit 205 60 15?

Because i value comfort over looks and i decided to go with the 215/60R15 from Nexon. My other question is are LED Car Lights allowed in Germany?

Can you elaborate, please?
Should you intend to swap the halogen bulbs in your headlights for LED bulbs, that's illegal in Germany and the rest of the EU for that matter.

Well the headlights on my car are shit, so i wanted to put something on that allows me to see better in dark, got myself (see in the picture below). And why its illegal? And how its that electric cars are allowed?
If you're after comfort 205 55 16 is probably the best choice between comfort and grip. 215 60 15 will give you a larger circumference and your speedo will read too low.
They're not approved for use in Halogen headlights and do not have the required e mark on them (even if they would you could still not legally use them in halogen headlights). What have electric cars got to do with it?

Quite frankly I don't see the connection there. I also don't make the law. It is what it is.
You can still use these bulbs but it will be illegal, which, in case of an accident can lead to severe consequences. LEDs have a different light emission pattern than the halogen bulbs your headlights' reflectors are tailored to. Using an LED in such a reflector can lead to other drivers being dazzled. The light beam won't have the specified pattern.
I'm fully aware that LED conversion kits are allowed in other countries such as the US, but they're not allowed in the EU. For good reason.

I hid my homework and the new wheels that i want to put on the 215 60 R15 compared to the 195 65 R15 are 0,6% bigger. No big difference, i don't think that's a problem. And if i cant use these led headlights then what normal good H7 headlights can i get?
You'd need to have the wheel/tyre combination put into your car registration paperwork, just not worth the hassle as they may still require you to modify your instrument cluster.
What country do you live in?
