185-55-15 - is the stock recommended size,

but 185-50-15's are cheaper to buy and that's what I have fitted...

Do you mean 195-50-15?

In my opinion, 185-55-15's look better as the side wall is more in line with the edge of the rim. I had 195-50's on my last car, and felt they looked too balloony. Almost like the reverse of "strech" if that makes sence.

Just checked and the wheels had 195/45/15's on before the refurb  :laugh:

So now I'm wondering if I should go that way again... :huh:

At least I'm decided on Uniroyal Rainexperts or Rainsports give the Aberdeen weather LOL

What's the OEM tyre size on BBS RA's ?

or alternatively what else sits well, rides well etc ?

I was going to go for 185/60/14 ??

I thought RA's for mk2s were 15s?
