Anyone have any pics of these type of wheel on standard height!Im guessing there wouldnt be much difference with the cyclone being 15 on a 55 tyre, so will just see more wheel, less tyre?

Assuming a 195 tyre width you'll have a 7mm larger arch to tyre gap if you run the maths but in reality the gap will look a little larger than this due to the bulgier 195/55/15 tyre appearing to fill the arch better.It will look a little odd if you don't lower it a little. ________________________________________ Rich |

because the 45 number is a percentage of the width.205 45's seemed pretty good on Adam's wallye, 195's I've driven on other cars seemed just that bit too harsh. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It still wouldn't change the height though would it? Just look as though the arches are filled better________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

205/45s are also closer to the original tyre circumference so the speedo will remain more accurate. They fit in the arches fine if your wheels are the right offset too. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
