I am about to order my Buddy Club SF Challenge wheels. I am getting 15x6.5 42 offset. Will 195/55/15 size tires fit or could there be problems? Reason im asking is i wanna use the tires that i currently have to (a. save up for the tires i really want and (b. to get a lil more life out of these.

 

Yes they will.. and won't have any rubbing at all.

I have the same type of wheels... 15" SF P1 Racing in Gunmetal +42... and originally i was running on 195/55-15 tyres.

Though it does make the alloys look a lil' tiny with big tyres, so i switched mine to Toyo Proxies- 195/45-15

 

Can you upload a pic of how it looks? With the 195/45-15's?

 

i've got a pic with 55's but not 45's at the moment.. as i have just received the new tyres, and i won't be getting them fitted till my new coilover kit arrives in the next 2 weeks. (less hassle taking 1 trip to the garage rather than 2)

 

Exactly how much smaller will the 45's be? Is it quite a noticeable difference?

 

i can't really measure it but according to this:

Tire size calculator

its just under an inch smaller in diameter

 

Ah thanks a lot for the help. Now i just have to decide which tires i wanna get down the road ah decisions decisions
