205 speedline tyre profile?
Guys, does anyone know what profile/size tyres I would need if I got some 205 speedline alloys? I.e. 195/50/15 ? Thanks, Sam.

195/45/15 usually. They come with 50's as standard though i think.

The usual 195/45/15 is what I would think most would advise. You can get away with 50 profiles but depending on how low you are it "may" rub.

If it 'does' rub, Is there anything I can do to stop it?

there standard with 55's, but there better on 45's for lowered stuff, can fit 185's aswell, but best bet is 195.45.15's

205 #GTi's came with 185/55 15s and most people swapped (usually the rears) to 195/50 15s.
The tyres you would ideally need for a saxo is 195/45 15
