Surreyvr6 199 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 It's not necessarily just the width you have to take into consideration, it would also depend on the offset of the wheel, if you need adaptors etc. Tyre size would depend on the width of the wheel you choose, plus if you want properly fitted tyres or stretched. Have you got a set in mind? Sent from your mums iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Well the thing is, im after some borbet A,But they only do 7.5 and 9.5I'm running 7.5 & 9.5. I require some arch work on the rear though as I get a tiny bit of rub on extreme bumps. I have 195/45/16 front and 215/45/16 rears. Both have a good amount of stretch! Offset 23 on front and 28 rear, no spacers. Edited August 21, 2014 by Bealieboy Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well, depends on your ride height I suppose, mines probs about 60mm lower, need to get my arches done now really. Link to post Share on other sites
