165/50 if you want serious stretch

yeah i was looking at that, but dont want anything too over done, just enough to give it a nice stretched look, without reducing handling

Be mindful that MOTs are more stringent on stretch now and cars can fail if its too much

a 175/50 or 185/50 may be better for you
