i think they're 195/5015, standard size for the astra, i thought about lowering the profile as they look a bit like balloon tyres on a drag carlol lol lol

Before you go changing the tyres, what is the offset of the wheels?

Exactly.

When you say Astra wheels, what model Astra and are they Genuine VX Wheels?

Even with 16" Speedlines and a 45 profile tyre, it shouldnt rub even when dropped 60 and on full load at the rear. The fronts shouldnt even rub with 17"s with an et49
