if u dont lower it, it will be fine, but if u do,it will require some arch work.

ive got a 2002 1.1 and i am gettin 16"S on that, i know that arch work will need to be done but whats the difference with the different style tyres??

i dont understand the different measurements

[GreenSaxo]

width/ % of width / diameter or rim it fits on

195 / 45 / 15

195mm / 45% of 195 / 15"

I got a saxo VTR, put some 16" Fox evo 1s on. Have had to take the bracket which hold the rear bumper steady rigth back. Not lowered so that's what you do even if you don't lower it. If you're lowering it, then i'm guessing more woiuld need to be done.

The bracket doesn't do alot, it just steadies the bumper. unless you want Mondeo-itis, then its recommender that you keep the grommet, just get rid of all the flappy metal bit.

And if you have a fat assed bro then put him in the front, not the back, or you'll be in scraping hell!!!

well i got a set of 15s on mine y reg vtr n they scrape big time on full lock thats without lowering!!

[Scott]

what width/offset are they as they shouldnt rub at all!

[Smithy2003]

What size can you fit on without rubbing then?
Width/profile/diameter??

I'm looking at 185/40 OR 45/15's at the mo but if i can get 16's on without arch work all the better.

1.1 not lowered...

I'm going from 165/65/14 so will i need to alter anything with the speedo to compensate for increase to 15 or 16 with 40 or 45 profile?
