15's tyres

[MadUsa1]

Right, ordering my wheels today - pics soon.

They're 15 x 7 with an offset of 41mm and they're going on a 182 FF.

First question, is will there be any rubbing issues (Eibach speedlines)?

Second question, is what size tyres to get for the 15s???

Should be fine on Eibach sportlines

195/50/15 is cheapest and most popular, some opt for 205/50/15.

195's don't look right, 205/50 15's all day long

Be fine on 15's, but it will look a bit high, even on Eibachs.

Hi guys, thanks for the advice - why 205/50 rather than 195/45? Remind me, 205 is the width in mm and 50 is sidewall height as a percentage of the width right?

oe are 205 / 45 / 16 so won't 201/50/15 feel a bit squidgy?

probably will look a bit high but the cost and weight advantage of 15's were impossible to ignore (plus maybe there are coilovers in my future, not quite sure yet...)
