Tyres for GSi on 6 1/2J 16" Speedlines?
Afternoon all,
Looking for a bit of tyre advice as its been quite a few years since I've bought tyres for a nova. I'm looking for a summer tyre with a sidewall thats not going to catch the arch and rub on a standard 1.6 Gsi with unrolled arches with a full lip thats lowered 60mm.
Tyres that will be going on are Alessio Speedlines that I'm going to refurb shortly. Data on the back of the rims is as follows;
6 1/2Jx16H2-ET49, Alise07 1
SL944 POD L410, DOT-E 07, GA1917 Mg T6
I'm looking for a summer tyre for the occasional bit of summer use and was looking at are Toyo Proxes TR1 as the Proxes were a great tyre on my old impreza sti and are well priced in 195/45/16. I also had Michelin Pilot sports on my old saxo VTS that I also thought was a good tyre.
What size should I be looking to get to ensure no clearance issues 195/45/16? I assume 205 would need to have the arches rolled? I also see people rate 195/40/16 but there seems to be much less choice in brand due to the size and are much more expensive?
Appreciate any info or advice.
Cheers,
