New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
Been looking at new tyres and dont actually know what size tyres are supposed to go on the Turini's!
At the moment they have 195/45/16s on but they actually have a bit of stretch on. Only a tiny bit mind but id rather have the correct tyres on there. Looking on the internet, the wheels are 7" wide. Would i need 195s or 205s on these for the correct size?
Im bloody useless when it comes to wheels!
RE: New tyres - Piggy - 29-03-2013
getting on for 205s yeah
would they fit though??...would it have to be '40s?!
RE: New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
well ive just worked it out and the total diameter of the 45/16s come in at 10mm smaller diameter than the standard 55/15s. 45/205s come in at 0mm difference so it should be perfect!

I ran 195/45/16 on my sp's the 205's seemed to rub when cornering hard lol
If your going 205 I'd go 40's what's the et of the wheels
RE: New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
ET15. Yeah i was just thinking about a rubbing issue :S
Dont want to go any smaller than 45. They already look small enough!! lol

Well thats helpful!
Think i will stick with 195s. Further away from the standard rolling radius but the tyres i want are 20 quid a corner cheaper in 195!

Sidewall would be around the same as a 45 with 205/40
And you won't get no stretch
RE: New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
gay. Just looked and they dont do the pilot sport 3 in 205/40/16

Gutted I think 205/45 is just that little too big, fecking pissed me off on mine! rubbing all the time down my favorite road lol
RE: New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
Yours is probably lower than mine though. In fact, i think a Unimog is lower than my car

Doubt it mines only 40mm on back and it was lowered when it had stuff in it lol
RE: New tyres - Niall - 29-03-2013
you havent seen mine! Since i fitted the bigger TBs, its higher than standard lol
RE: New tyres - sam - 29-03-2013
I tried a set of 205/46r16 on mine at work to see what the clearemce was and got to be honest looking loads better
and loads of clearence!
RE: New tyres - Kezzieboy - 01-04-2013

Ill try and get a pic tomorrow. Its only very minimal but still a bit there. Also if i fit 205s, it will bring the profile up so that the overall diameter is only about 2mm off the standard 195/55/15s
RE: New tyres - C.A.R. - 02-04-2013
195/45/16 is what I ran on the Superleggera's and they rubbed ocasionally. There is minimal stretch, but get a tyre with rim protector and there won't be an issue running a 195.
205 is closer to OEM overall diameter but I would be concerned enough to get the arches rolled.
