Track tyres and lowered cars

[Msphotographic]

Right im after buying some track tyres now iv been offered some 195/50/16s a048s now il be having the car put on coilovers asap just wondering if the car will rub with this size tyre on ??

Nope, this size is commonly used on clios. But then again if it rubs or not depends on how low you have your coilovers, wheel offset, how many flat slags you have in the back etc.

No. A048s are awesome too.

Depends what height you set it to with the coilovers TBH and what offset your wheels are and if you run spacers.

Mine was mildly lowered on kw v2's with the exact tyres and rubbed quite bad on some corners. Was quite off-putting when you heard it too. Rubbed my front arch liners away as well. I would be looking at dropping a wheel size as I thought I'd get away with it but you won't.

Oooo that's some good advise Cupman, tyres do seem a lot cheaper on 15s

They're much cheaper in 15'' why I now run 2 sets of 15' wheels.
