172FF standard wheels, what size of tyre will fit??

[Just Plain Yates]

I have a 172FF with standard alloys fitted. The current tyres are F1's 195/45/16. Will any other sized tyre fit onto this wheel? :S

Thanks,

Adam.

205/45/16 should fit aswell

205/40/16 is good also

if you like the elastic band look yeah

Stick with either 195/45 or 205/45

The 195/45's will be cheaper

they sholdnt look to far off what the 195 45's do

as the 40 bit is calcualted of the tyre width

 

[mr angry]

This is the aspect ratio.
Aspect ratio is the ratio of a tyre's width to it's height. A 70 series tyre, therefore, is a tyre whose height is equal to 70% of its width. Lower Profile Tyres hence have lower series numbers.
