Went and picked these up today. Found out they needed new tyres on all 4 of them but still tried one on the car anyways to see what it looked like and if it fitted.
Here is the Result:
Now on the first 2 it looks pretty high up but i reckon this is because its only been done on one side and if the other had a a 15 instead of a 13 it would of balanced out
From the back view it doesn't stick out at all, but from the front you can see it coming out a bit, although saying this - it still lines up with arch.
I turned on the engine, and on full right lock the tyres were just touching the plastic on the far inside which can't be good?
So i am thinking that maybe the tyres are too big for my car. A garage said i could do 195/50 instead of the 205/50 i already have. What do you think is the smallest width tyre i can get away with on these alloys.
Give me your opinions!! :laugh:
Thanks

depends on offset and width tbh mate, they do look like they stick out tho, just go for some 195/45's and lower it, it should be fine,

195 45 15 you want if your not lowering it id stick with them till it needs tires though. rubbing on full lock wont cause to much damage if any at all its only when your parking you need full lock

cant sort the ofset out mate, unless you buy new wheels, it looks like its the wrong offset thats why they are sticking out, 195/45 will be fine, i have them on mine

what offset are they? look like ET38 or so to me, in any case you'll need smaller profile tyres.
