Mr Brown Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 They will look well tidy once you turn them to the dark side mate and as above give the different sizes a go see how it feels... and as powerofdreams asked (i can not remember or be bothered looking) what size rims and tyres you running at present mate ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammarbm Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Lol yeah that was my work place car park so if I was to go 195/50/15 would that reduce the height or remain same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I would think the wider tyre wall would compensate for the smaller rim diameter?? Someone else may confirm this or not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This is a tricky area, ideally you need to keep the same rolling radius as original, the original tyre size is 195/55/15 which gives you a sidewall of approx. 4.2inches + 15 inches for tyre, total diameter 19.2in. With the 16s you have the sidewall is approx 3.6in + wheel at 16in total = 19.6in. So with the tyres on the new wheels the sidewall is a fraction over 4 inches for both + 15in for the wheels giving a total of 19 inches which is closer to the original rolling radius and should also have the added effect of bringing the car closer to the black stuff, happy days. With 195/50/15s the sidewall will be approx. 3.8in so a total of 18.8 so should be lower still but the rolling radius will be further from original, I run 195/50's on my fanblade 15's though. Hope that helps and I hope I've got my maths right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestopdog Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I had 17's with 205x40x17s then put 15's with 175x50x15's dropped it a good inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
