tyre clearence

[*Dave*]

hey people
just got my new wheels, they are 15x7 et45

without tyres fitted they look a tight squeeze but i want to get 195/50/15 yokohama ad08 tyres

just need to know if anyone else has got the same fitment wheels and tyre size and if they have any issue's

thanks in advance :)

I had 7's on my old red 1.6 at ET49, it was pretty tight inside and out, arches needed a slight fettle and it fitted really nicely. But for 195/50/15 track tyres, I'm fitting widearch wings to the front and seeing what happens with the rear, I'll be tubbing rear inners most likely and expect to fettle the outside rears quite heavily.

I had 7J et45s on my nova. Even with the rear lips rolled there was literally just a mm clearence when it was 100mm down. I had to put some 3 or 5mm spacers on the front to clear the shock. They had 195/45s on so there's no way 50s would of fit on my car
