Hey guys, need help on this one. I'm running 15x8 ET1 with 205/55 up front and 16x8 ET5 with 205/50 at the rear. I want more stetch but cant afford to go lower (stupid UK roads). Would running 195/50's all round be suitable? Cheers!

Ya thatll work. Basically everyone with 15x8s or 16x8s run 195/50s.

depends do you want your tires beefy?

stretched?

do you have coils?

you need to take all that to consideration

want beefy 225/40?

or stretched 195/40?

it all depends on what you want it to look like

good luck

definately. thin sidewall tires on a small rim looks hella funky. i know, i had stock 15s with 205/50 and it looked funny as hell

yeah i was rollin on 14x7.5 with a 50 series on it, and it was dumped on it's ass on stance, but had like 1.5in of wheel gap, so go with more tire, can't go wrong
