mk3 transmission question/ tire question..

On the trans side, I'd say just stick to what's recommended (dex3 for the auto). As far as rubber goes it's up to you really & what you want to do. For normal road use the stock 245/50 16" should be fine, I think any wider than 255 requires arch mods anyway though I could be wrong (my car on 245/40 17" is "one-finger-close" as it is!)... For what it's worth just spend the extra you would've put to wider wheels & tyres to higher quality ones & you'll see more difference in handling that way for less hassle.
