195/45 TYRE on a clio 3 ...

[James1470]

the wheels are 16''s but looks small... reckon it could be because the tyres are the wrong profile...

my wheel dude reckons they should be higher profile?

anyone came across this?

 

[theduck]

whats your reg? will check for you.

 

[James1470]

ND07 YAE .. but for low profile tyres yea

 

[theduck]

should be 195/50 R16

 

[James1470]

will that make a difference to the drop? i want it to still be this low? and will that fill the arches out?

 

[theduck]

will only make a bit of difference tbh

 

[James1470]

worth swapping them?

 

[theduck]

get your tyre fitter to show you the difference, imo not worth it unless you need new tyres

My old mk3 Dynamique S did come with 195/50 R16 but I changed them for 45's and they were a lot better, was lowered a bit too, made a nice difference!

my mk3 came on 195/50/16 but due to limits on what tyres are available and the stupid jump in price i changed for 45's. Can barely tell.

 

[James1470]

On 16"s? Reckon its spot on?

 

[sofaboy]

Ye factory 16's

as mentioned its barely noticeable, i know biohzrd has done the same thing.
