Come on then guys, what tyre size would keep my speedo running accurate if I got 16" alloys? (on standard steels at mo,175/65/13).

I think

195/40/16 would do the trick, can anyone confirm? Plus would a 205 tyre be too wide?

Cheers Guys.

Thats correct Al - and yes 205 is too wide. Itll scrub big time!

Cheers Alex, thought 205's would be a bridge to far!

195's will be fine & stick me to the road better than the 175's!
