how much are yours ed?

im thinking poss toyo proxes 195/45R16 and stretch them bad boys

how wide are the wheels? ive got 7" wide comp MOs with 205/40/16s on but you could easily stretch a 195 on i reckon

get a set of 205/40/16's will be ruffly the same profile (tyre wall height) and will giv a wider foot print on the road givin u much better handling... in terms of longer wairing tyres look for pirrellie, conti but the best i know for a long lastin tyre with compromise to grip is michilen try black circles.com for the best prices

need to go skinnier than that to clear arches at the back when its lowered

As mentioned before- Conti Sport 2's are very good on the wear rate, I used to have them on the back of my old M3. Grip was OK but the F1's were better (but not as long lasting- and lethal when they were getting a bit low on tread)

Also try Khumo Ecsta's. Good price, good grip, good value.

You could also try Falken FK452's- very good grip and great price. I run these on the back of my GTR in place of my old Bridgestone SO3's.

I kno Fiesta Zetec S with Cosworth alloys on.. with 195/40/16s onit Stretched like madd

the bloke across the road from me LEGEND who has an old school sirocco, has the exact tyres in the size i want!

Toyo Proxes TR1 in 195/40R16, and they look pretty sexual, just the right amount of stretch, gonna theive a pic when its light tomorrow
