Size tyres???

[Lucky Luke!]

What size tyres should i have on my 15"s???

195 50 15s for cheapness, if you are feeling flush you should go for 195 45 50s (or if your car is slammed on its ****). www.mytyres.co.uk (http://www.mytyres.co.uk) to check out different brands. I assume your rims are at least 6 inches wide?

basically i have 15"s on at the mo but they rub a little so what should i have to stop the rubbing?

Best bet if they rub is 185/55/15"s

[Lucky Luke!]

are they just slightly lower profile?

[TommySR]

have your arches been rolled? what offset are your wheels etc. all this could be the cause of your scrubbing?

[Lucky Luke!]

my arches have been rolled a little yeah, to be honest i'm not sure what is on there now. will look when i get home and post up what i have.

Why do that when the sidewalls on 195 45s are only 87.75mm compared to a 101.75 mm sidewall on a 185 55s? Even 195 50s have a thinner sidewall (97.5mm) and the 195 fitment tyres are much cheaper. the extra width shouldn't be an issue, unless the offset is wrong or the car is dropped.

195/45/15 i use.
No rubbing at all.

I've heard 195/50/15 rub the front and rear arches.

because the 185's are narrower so wont scuff (as bad)

Its normally width that they scrub on and not depth.

my old 1.4 had 195/50/15s and that scrubbed front and back even after having them rolled, now ive got 195/45/16s on Softstars and they do not scrub at all even under hard cornering
