Lol, explain a little more.

Can go as low as you want. I have no idea what wheels you have...

Doesn't 195/40 answer you question ?

I reckon 195/40's would answer it tbh.

I guess it would....

currently have the standard 16" currently have the 195/45/16's on, and wanted to know what size i can go to.. like you have said 195/40...

I find 45 a low enough profile for the standard 16's. Why do you want get a smaller profile? No matter how low you go you pretty much wont get any issuses apart from the bumper bracket and arch liners. That is only if you go rather low though.

45 is low enough, imo.

Any lower and it might become 'crashy'.

It'll throw the speedo out, this shows difference between sizes http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

i had 195/40/16 on mine and the ride was so uncomfortable i had them changed after 500miles

Hi everyone,

I'm afraid I simply don't "get" wheels and tyres!

I'm looking to buy a 182 Cup, but I want to replace the wheels with 16" Turinis. How do I know what size to get?
This page seems to have them in various sizes - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2145&catid=21&appid=13&pic=2

So, what is best and why? Do they all fit and it's just down to choice? Or does the car limit what you can have?

Also, if I wanted 17" Turinis, would these fit? Or would it look a bit silly?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Sorry, I just realised this was a huge thread hijack. Hope that's ok!

205/45/16 - get your tyres from camskill.
17''s look too big unless your car is significantly lowered

Thanks, I'll stick with 16" and the 195/45
