They'll fit, but they'll mess up your rolling radius. You want 205/45/16

bringing this question back up but for an 8j rim. will they fit ok?
i know the profile is wrong but it might look good with 185 45 on the 7j at front? (mega stance ;))

or am i just been a cheap arse and going through my tire collection? :P

they will fit but your speedo is going to be miles out and it will make your car look a bit silly with fat tyres, I have fitted 205/45*16 to my tdi and my speedo is out by 2mph ie if doing 30 on the clock I am only doing 28 so its the right way.
