id say that youd def have rubbin at full lock, possibly just general rubbin issues aswell. 45 pros arent too expensive though mate usually the 40s that are stupid money

Had some on when I bought my car.
Was really tight on the front, so rubbed a lot when turning or on full lock. Can take the liners out to get rid of srub on front, but then u get water and dirt spraying everywhere, not recommended 4 the winter.
On the back it'll only rub when hitting really big compressions, or when u've got lard arses in the back. It touches the bumper mount when compressed and will wear a hole through the liner.
The moral of the story, don't do it. 195-45-15's!

I had 195/50/15 on VTS alloys when I bought them as they weren't saxo ones.I'm lowered 60mm and the car was undriveable. When turning a corner, not even full lock, it pushed my arches out. I'd have had none left if i'd carried on
Rubbed on the back too and thats not as low as the front
Stick with 195/45/15. It's not worth getting the wrong size just to save a few bob
