Cheers Alex,does 205/55/15 look silly?
I love my rims and don't wanna sell em' :)
Yea 205/55 will look like a tractor tire and throw your speedo out a fair bit. Go with 205/50 for sureQuote:

atm it's 575mm,so it's only 5mm either side but I can imagine it would fill it out enough to help hide the gap.
It looks like the best option atm
When U put in 215/50/15 it says the diameter is 596mm.
Why would going a little wider increase the diameter? Is there something obvious I am missing or is it odd..
i think the height doesn't look too bad
Yeah,I'm happy with it,definately!!Quote:

I don't wanna go any lower,that's forsure.The height is perfect.
The profile is a percentage of the width, hence why the diameter increases as the width increases for a constant profile
You are correct, 205/50 will not fill the guards completely, but don't go any higher on the profile, it will look stupid.
215/50 is an expensive size and hard to find in aus, don't bother with it.
Best way to get rid of the gap if thats what you are after, is go with 205/50 and lower it a little bit more. But yea you wont do that haha
haha,yeah.Like,ideally I want too but it just isn't practical but that's fine,I like having a bit more room under there,then I can relax when I drive and not be looking for every bloody knook and cranny in the road! :)
Thanks mate,sorted! Stoked! 205/50/15's next!
nice one brett, needs more drop though :p
hehe,yeah :)
Thanks Vin!
