Fair few replies and bits of advice above, cheers everyone
A few questions answered:
Tyre size normal
Anything out the ordinary with the above?
Just been outside again to check the clearance and i literally cant get my little finger between the drop link thread end and the tyre, and on the rear i cant get a finger between the tyre and the handbrake cables.
Went for 15's as the 16s didnt feel as 'stable' on corners etc as my old 15s did, plus with a 16" low profile tyre the one i had changed before christmas cost me just over £100 compared to just over £50 for the common 195/45/15 ones.
Well i dont really have much of an update today- the car wasnt picked up due to the trucks being damaged from a job yesterday.
Tried calling the AA as theyre supposed to do home recovery (worth a try) only to be told they had nothing available for low vehicles ffs
