i have 8x15 roto rims mate and i have 195/45/rubber on them and has a better look.

50's are to tall on the side wall if your going for the euro streched look 45 is the way to go!

will put a pic up of mine soon so you can see for yourself,

Martin

idealy ied prefer a 45 profile, the only options i got are

195/45 15, no stretch on my 7j rims
185/45 15, but only manufacture i can find is nankang (ditch finders!!)
175/50 15

i think the 175/50 would look lower profile due to the stretch?

cheers for the reply,
