15's are about the biggest you'd want to be looking at.
Mine is lowered 60mm and is running 14's and that's filled the arches nicely.
i hope my 16"s look ok?

You can get away with it on a coupe but not the saloons.

just my opinion!

this is on 16's, looks pretty In my opinion. Think there 7x16's?? but he's running 195/40/16 tyres.

I like it!

I am probably going to get 195/45's for a bit of protection from pot holes. I notice this guy has rolled his rear arches.... luckily I know someone with an arch rolling tool

cheapest tyres i have found are on the bay! No one can match the crazy prices some people are offering online
