as I think I wrote in another thread, I would not recommend 45s!  Very harsh ride indeed considering my suspension is still stock  :undecided:

The lowest standard profile is 195/45/15 and they'll be fine as long as you avoid potholes and don't mind a hard ride (not that 195/50 is any better) but if you want the stretched look, the 165/65/15 will fit tooo but you need a very high tyre pressure to run them.

If your car is a daily driver, I'd fit 195/50/15 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tyres mate.
