craggsy 91 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have some 8x16 wheels sorted and they sit on car great ET16 after adapters. Now i'm undecided on whether to go with 195/45 16 or 195/40 16 tyres. I'm vearing more towards 195/40s as they will only be summer wheels so will be on till E38 I think.Please help me decide?

petervr6 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 i would personally gp for 45 series they will be a bit softer on the road and less chance if you hit a hole of buckleing the wheel and easer and cheaper for new tyres Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'd go for the 45 profile too. This'll keep the rolling radius consistent with stock and you also get slightly better acceleration with the thicker profile Although 40 profile will look better.How come you're not going for stock 205 width?
