205/40/16.

[boneybradley]

the equiv of 195/50x15 would be 205/45x16 or for the true anniversary fitment 215/40x16

[DazVR6]

Oooohh i stand corrected....... :embarassed:

[boneybradley]

daz your not wrong... its more down to cost (as 215/40's are expensive as !!) and 205/45x16 are more common as the corsa boys use them (hence lower price) and 205/45 are mid range in price....... well thats according to mytyres

the stock anniversary BBS rims sit on 16s and its a pain in the bacside gettin hold of tyres off the shelf from most places....i run on 215/40/16s and i'v been lucky to find part worns with enough tread wen i got to replace twice now. but av had to call around for em. Goodyear Eagle F1s for £35-40 a tyre
otherwise its the case of ordering. Ebat tends to have quite a few people selling the rite size but its about the travel shud u want to pik em up or having to pay the extorsionate postage costs these people put up!!

also perhaps try the following website for application guide and the low down on wots recommended!

It is possible to go up to 225/45 on a 16, but spacers may be needed.
safest is 215/45 or 205/45.




Info only max on a 17 is 215/40
