Surreyvr6 199 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 195/40s is what I was swaying towards, think that would be just rightSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I've got 195/45/16 on a 7.5 rim. That gives me a little bit of stretch and a little bit more comfort with the 45 profile. Unfortunately mine are only lenso bsx!

bennyk 1,238 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) The only thing I found with 195/40 16's was tyre choice, I could only find them in Dunlop or continentals, pretty much the 2 most expensive makes! Here's a picture of the stretch on the rears, Edited April 19, 2014 by bennyk Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Got 195/40 16's with 7's on the front and 8's on the back, I'm not a fan of stupid stretched tyres but if you put big profile tyres on smaller wheels I think it can kill the look of them a bit and the wheels can get a bit lost, if that's the right word?! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhat tyres have you got, only ones I can seem to find in 195/40 is tr1's, falken ze914, yokohamas and a couple of budget tyresSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 They're continental sport contact 2's, the rides not to bad on them. Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Ah for some reason that post with the pic didn't come up earlier lol. I'm thinking of tr1's as I've got to fork out for 4 it's a bit easier on the wallet and always fancied giving them a try but I've always stuck to uniroyals as I like them a lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

They did a fantastic job that had a few small faults, these were pointed out corrected with no issues by them! The finish on my chassis legs was as good as the outside!

richierich37 236 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Some folk like them some folk don't, the ones that don't seem to like splits that I cannot stand! I suppose if we all like the same wheels our cars would be similar and boring...........I love the look of them in that photo and the way they are shaped clear the brembo callipers without running spacers!
