mccartney11 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) albeit they will look a bit odd, id swap them for part worn 185 45s Edited February 24, 2014 by mccartney11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oliolip Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ok nice one mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 195/45/15 will fit just fine, I'm not sure why they would look odd? Personally I'd stick to 195/50/15 but 45s will fit fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Too wide for the wheel they will make it feel boaty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ahh I see, I was always under the impression that 195 & 6j was ok but apparently not lol :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Definitely not ha. I have 185's on mine and I think there even a little bit much for them a small streatch is better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The thing that confuses me is OE Speedlines are 15 x 6j but people use 195/50/15s... Does the sidewall profile have any effect on fitment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oliolip Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys. So, ended up taking wheels an tyres to a mate who has a tyre place, put 1 on an stuck it on the laser machine, balanced etc. They fit absolutly fine, almost flush with the alloy at 31 psi. There ya go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 195/50's on a 6 is completely fine mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
