16 " or 15"

[Seymour_Furio]

Im just about to purchase a set of 16" alloys but was wondering if they will rub ? or should i get 15" ?

thanks x

is your car lowered man?
what are the tyres sizes that the alloys are coming with? remember the tyres will cost an arm and a leg when you come to replacing them.

16s will be fine as long as your using 40 profile tyres and the car isnt way too
low! 15s look pretty decent too.

All depends on how your want your car, if you have a kit on it then 15s will
look tiny.
If you have just lowered it then 15s will look fine.

16s wont look out of place either way imo, but then tyres are more expensive
and you want get the nice feel you get with 15s...

Cars not lowerd yet, but will be doing it around 40mm, not fully sure on tyre sizes tho

Yh with 16" alloys you will need 195/40/16 tyres as they will rub if u have bigger tyres , and u can lower it aswell with them tyres and it still wont rub at all :)

you could just do some arch work then it wont rub and you wont need 40 profile tyres so it will be cheaper especially if you do the work yourself.

[rushy_23]

40mm with 16s on 40 profile tyres will be fine!
Just make sure on the tyres.

i have just put 16s on mine with 195/45/16 tyres and my saxo it lowered 55mm all round only scrubbs on full lock or if i have a fat person in the back but i dont know many fat people so i dont care

As said 40 profiles on 16's will give you no trouble at all. With 45's you will get some rubbing but that can easily be sorted.

[rushy_23]

Just to show you that even 15s can look decent:

Sometimes you wheels look small and sometimes they dont ^^^^^

They look a nice size there. I would always go for 16's now unless going euro.

are 16s with profile 40tyres ok lowered on a 50m car even with passengers in the back?
