depending on the tyres you might need to cut the little lip on the rear off

Tyres are light ballons. You will want 45 profiles if you dont want any trouble with rubbing

Hi Buddy,
I have a 1.1 Desire.
I have 15" alloys with 195/45 R15 tyres and it rubs with a full car. But i haven't got round to taking the lip off the rear arches yet (This is where it is rubbing). Those tyres do look huge on the pics so maybe look at getting a set of Toyo or Avon tyres with the same profiles as i have... will set you back about £40-£50 a tyre.
Hope i helped mate.
