Ok so alot of people on here say they rub like a bitch and that you should use the correct profile for a 15" rim, 195/45/15. Had a search through and there also been a few people saying there ok and dont rub and alot of people that track there cars!
My car will be lowered about 35/40mm all around next week and i need to know what rubber to fit!
Youre views please? :y:

I've got 195/50/15 Parada's they rub slighty on the back arches, but they grip well once warmed up

well the sax will have 888s or them so both sets of tyres will be 50 profile
can only get the 888s in 50 though
my 106 will stay on 45s

don't know about the speedo being out, my 205 speedlines with 45's are smaller than vtr wheels (fitted to my early vts) so a 50/15 will probably be similar size to the 185/60/14.

Fine on mine, only rub on full lock and its worth it if my assumptions right youll be going R888's or A048s etc
