Either 195/40/16 or 195/45/16 I want to keep as close to the 185/60/14 diameter i have on at the moment, and havnt got tyres to have to check.
Also the best tyres for me to get, i really want the toyo r888's but cant get them in either of these sizes, i can get 195/50/16 but dont really want that much.
Help would be appreciated, need to get the tyres ordered asap.

195/45/16 will be about 5mm bigger than your current wheels. if you go for 195/40s they will be 15mm smaller

So Jake is it better To go with 40 so 15mm less or jus stick with 45, 5mm more, will ride suffer a great deal, trouble iv got is I don't know anyone runnin 16"s with a 40 profile, so I'm thinkin now jus go with 45 as it's common choice, best tyres for me to get? Toyo t1-s'?

I have 40's and 45's. 40's look much better IMO.

me and Sean-b both run 40's on ours Ad check my garage for pics
The ride is a little harsher but they do look loads better I reckon. Especially if the cars low like yours.

if you want the speedo to read as close as possible to your current wheels then 45s are the way to go. I have 195/40s on a 16 inch rim and ride comfort isnt as good as it would be on a 45 profile. if youre after more ride comfort then i quite like toyos because they have soft tyre walls
