i have a 1.4 furio. recently just bought some new wheels. if you go on the motorworld website and pick some wheels (any wheels) they do a fitment guide to tell ya what size tyres etc would be best for your car. but basically my 16" wheels have got 195/45 tyres on if this helps.

some advice when buying wheels. try and haggle em to get the ones you want cheaper. say you saw them somewhere else cheaper if your buying from a shop. it worked for me, and dont let them rip you off!

16" is too big IMO

Some nice 15's look fine in the arches. plus if you intend to lower the car, you need 40 profile tyres on the 16's
