so I'm going to be getting tyres for my Pirelli P-slots soon, and wanted to know which tyre will have the lowest profile when on the wheel.

They will be goin on my mk3 coup and have had 195/45x15's on there so I know that neither of the tyres will rub as the 7x15's never touched and the P's are 6x14...

So which tyre will look the lowest? Anyone got any pics of either of these size tyres fitted??

thanks

Not much in it. The 195/45's are probably a fraction lower in diameter.
On a 6J rim I would go with the 185/50's.

Something I have been thinking about for mine. I'm currently running 185-55/14 which are ok, but could be lower profile.
Both 185-50 or 195-45 would be fine, but the 195-45's are lower and might not absorb bumps as well.
I will probably end up going for 185-50's when it comes time renew mine.

I've been thinking of P Slots for my 16V for sometime time now.
Never liked them much back in the day but they have really grown on me recently.

Watch the secondhand value of these wheels rise as they start to become more popular again !.
