and et 45-49 offset - go no bigger than 16's to avoid probs. 195/50/15 is good size

tyre sizes mate basically 195=width 50=wall height 15=wheel size (i prefer 195/45/15's :wink: )

Right...195/45/15 is probably a better size to go for...but Ade's close enough :wink: These measurements are in "mm" and "inches". The 190/45 are in "mm", the 15 is in "inches". Ok?

190 is the width across the tyre (imagine you're looking directly down onto a fitted wheel and meassure the width across)

45 is the distance from the Alloy rim to the highest point of the tyre wall.

15 is the diameter of the Alloy itself (without the tyre)

It's quite simple. Not sure why they choose mm and inches, probably cos asking for a set of 510mm Alloy's might sound a bit stupid? :roll:

Hope this helps
