Try not to go for 195/50/15 tyres, 45 profile tyres will be so much better in the longrun. I had 50mm profile tyres and they caught on the arches all the time, even with the arches pulled out (i did have the wrong offset wheels though :roll: ) Try not to mix and match tyres either, this wont do your handling any favours.

Try www.mytyres.co.uk for some good quality affordable tyres.

I run Toyo Proxes 195/50-15 on Cav alloys (ET49), my front arches are rolled and backs cut, they fit perfectly with no rubbing at all and I reckon they would still have clearence if the arches were standard, I run 70mm drop front and 60mm drop rear.....Any help?

It's all to do with the offset :)
