something like a 175/40/15 should strech on there id have thought. dont want to go too low a profile if your strechin the tyres tho.

[GDhillon187]

is there even a 175/40/15??  i dont want the tyres to be stretched extremly cos i've been told it effects the handling

if you want them to strecht you wanna go 15x6
if you want 15x7 tyres..gud ones...i think you shud get the same as me..and get toko a539s..cos i rate em..

i think i would go for 185/45/15 or 185/40/15 if possible, where can i get these tyres from, as i asked my local tyre place he said 185/55/15 is the lowest profile there is!!

i also checked a site called, www.etyres.co.uk and even on that site they came up with 185/55/15!
