16 Tyre Size

[Matty]

Are 16" wheels OK with 205/45/16 tyres on a valver or should you try and go for 195/45/16 ????

What is the standard tyre size?

185/55/15 on the 16v. Currently using 195/50/15 but as going to 16" wheels wondered if another 10 mm width increase would be OK or stuff up handling too much.

Yep definiately stick to 195/45/16!! 205s will shaft acceleration!

195s

Bugger. 205 is easier to get in a choice of tyres, like Bridgestone S02s for example. Toyos or F1s seem top be the only top tyres available in 195.
