Hey, just bought a brand new set of wheels, the size is 16x7 (+45 offset) and I need tyres. From what I have researched, I should be getting 205/45/16 right?

My friend has some Kumo Zetums with 90+% that he took off his wheels, the specs are 205/50/16.

The reason I ask this questions is because he is selling them to me for cheap, and before I decide to actually go with it, I just want to double check that they will fit, and to make sure they wouldn't look retarded. Car is at stock ride height too.

No scrubbing, no retardation, and good fit?

cheers!

How so? (excuse the retarded questions also, I have no idea about tyre sizes and stuff) I think the ones on my stock fat 5's are 195/55/15 and I'm looking at getting 205/50/16 (my friends ones) apart from the obvious factor of different tyres, one is 15 and the other is 16, what else is changing?
