There's more to it than just widths.

There's also tyre widths and offset to take into consideration

Although on a 60mm drop I doubt it even matters!

7x16's all round. 195/45/16 tyres. Final offset is ET20 front and ET15 rear. Lowered 120mm front, slightly less at the rear for the 'nose down' look.
