Tyre Size?

Post by Corsabphil »

hey i just bought some new 15" white vauxhall alloys and they come with tyres, but the tyre size is 185/55/15. i was just wondering if they will be alright on the car? And could i put 195 tyres on or would they be too big for the alloy?
thanks phil

They would fit but it would raise the rise height a bit. 45 or 50 profile is best on a corsa b. And yeh 195s should fit but will stick out slightly from the edge of the rim. Thats fine tho cuz it means if u accidently scrape it on the curb it will just rub the tyre and keep the rim intact lol
