No idea but 55 profile will make your speedo inaccurate. 50 or 45 profile on 15"

165/70r13 i think
fitted the new alloys today. and genuine mudflaps. the rear wheels are very close to the mudflaps but the fronts are fine

The tyre calc still recommends 45 or 50 profiles for your car. 55 profile puts you 5 mph out at 70mph.

ill just have to drive slower then
they fill the arches up really well and with the front end lowered she looks very well balanced
