Righteo. Hi there you lot.
I've done a quick search but didn't bring up any solid answers.
Due to tight uni student budget and me wanting decent tyres I have decided to not buy another x2 195/45R15 for my micra. Here in australia this tyre size is VERY rare and VERY expensive. I could buy x2 Bridgestone Potenza GIII for the same price as x1 quality 195/45R15...
Anyway, I'm looking at the Firestone Wideoval (similar to the Potenza GIII).
Will 195/50R15 scrub on my lowered micra? I realise that my current offset causes the passenger side to scrub VERY lightly on the inside plastic splash guard - but I've never heard it do it and I think it would only happen in a hard right hand turn at full lock and a decent speed for the sidewalls to flex noticeably.
As for my current offset - sorry. NFI. Here's a picture which might show the current offset a bit better.

Please don't tell me how hot/good looking my car is because I already know this.
