Some help with tyres

[Robert]

Ok, my alloys arrived today and the tyres are huuuuuge.. 195/55 R15.

Will they even fit on my micra? (lowered 35mm)

As for going for new tyres, should i be looking at? 195/45? I believe there's no problems with these, how about 195/50?

Without spending too much can any recommend some decent budget tyres? And what kind of price should i be looking at for fitting?

Thanks

i paid about £8 a tyer for blancing as well.

As for tyers if u can afford £60 a rim go for some Good Year Eagle F1's (best for the wet)

what alloys you get? ne pics? 195/50 went fine on my car, slight scrubbing on full lock

 

[wilsonian]

you really wana get 45's - incase u decide to drop it (if you haven't already)

i've got some 205/50/15 on my other alloys, some rubbing on full lock but nice traction on corners at higher speeds, good trade off I think

I've dropped it 35mm already.. From the searching I've done couldn't see too much difference between, bar the size difference, the 50's seem to fill the arch more, and are slightly cheaper.

Would the 55's fit? Or would there be too much rubbing?

They're almera GTI alloys.

 

[wilsonian]

are they 15" or 14"?

35 mm drop with 15" having a 55 profile will rub.

so I'll be needing lower profile tyres..

thanks for the help
