You'll need 195/40/16s

45s will scrub quite easily

You can get down 40-50mm no problem. Anything lower you will probably have problems with scrubbing.

Plus that profile puts the speedo out a little :(

Have they been fitted?

ya - mine came on those, and i got them changed lol.

Umm well i guess run them, but itll be out a little.

At 60mph you are travelling at 62.7 (4.6% out) obvs faster it gets higher. Just mind speed cameras lol
