tyre decision?

Post by FasT »

gettin 16\" bk 166 alloys. they come in offset 42 i believe. iv found a website which sells them with tyres 195/40/16 for £580. However i found halfords do the same wheels for £480 but they dnt have the same option tyre as i want above and the closest one is 205/40/16. ( i dnt want profile 45 btw) wots best ? u think 205 is a bit to wide for 16\'s? will i have more trouble fittin them on? bare in mind my car has bin lowered 60mm all round. i know i may need a bit of arch work doin..



thx guys

205 are too wide for the Corsa B. Even on 17s you\'re best off paying more for a 195 width tyre.

With a 205 tyre, they\'ll be more likely to scrub and tramline.
No more Corsa :(
