I fitted these these to my Nova mid last year. Ended up swappin them them for AVS. Although they say there a 195. Not a hope in hell!! The side wall was like a balloon! Might get away with it if your running a 7" wheel but my 6.5" not a chance. Couldn't even drop it off axle stands without catchin the arches.
Picked a set up yesterday for my mates 106 rallye. Well sexy tyre.
Another mate of mine runs these on his Integra type R. Stick like shit to a blancket but only last 2000 miles on road!!
Whot you pay for them? There a place by me pretty good for Yoko tyres. Cyril Wilcox & Son think they were 85+vat each which i found to be cheapest around.

i'm fitting mine to a 6.5" wheel. where did they catch on yours? it's already very close to the coilovers. i paid ?65 + vat each but that was from a friend who gets good discount from the supplier

I'am running 6.5 x 15. Where the sidewall on my AVS are flat with the edge of the wheel the A048 had quite a overhang. Cought on mine everywhere!! Didnt even bother to look if i could make em fit cos they were way out.
If i were you mate i would get one fitted to a wheel first and triel fit em before you buy the other two.
I even rang Yokohama to ask why the 2 were so different, surely if there both 195 width and made by same company they should be the same. They couldn't answer!!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
You might be lucky. Different wheels, offset etc you might just get away with it but i wouldn't hold your breath.

not gonna be for any use by the sound of it. but if i can get them to fit they will be used all the time. bearing in mind i did less than 5000 miles in it last year, and will probably do less this year
