I have 195/45/16 all round I want 195/40/16

I would keep that on the front and go 20/45/16 on the rear with kids.

But that might be to much. Need to know the standard wheel specs.

Not had them fitted yet, due to the fact I need the monies.

But to be honest if they don't sell by Thursday (their on eBay) I might try and keep them  :smiley: purely because they are daft  :cool:

ok peeps im really considering buying leigh_hartys banded steels 15" 9j fronts and 10j rears.
what i want to no is could i have these fitted ok with just rolled arches and maybe some arch extensions not flaired arches?
also could i have a safe usable everyday driving stretch on the rear?
