it depends on the width of the wheel mate.

for example a classic 14" wheel would be about 6" wide the best tyre for that would be a 185/50/14. there are of course a huge range you could go for but thats the one i would go for as its the closest circumference to my current wheels

of course, you can get 7" wide and 8" wide wheels which would need a completely different size tyre all together.

hope thats a bit of food for thought!

oh and by the way, you may find this quite useful. its a tyre size calculator!
