I don't want to prove anything yet... they have only been on for about 10 hours!!! Knowing my luck, something will go wrong. I'll get pics up over the weekend. | |

Across the tread it was 7.5, they were just weird fat tyres called Stunners. | |

Well, they were 195/50/15 tyres, but when measured across the tyre, it came out at 8" I'm just gonna have to try and get them on and sort the arches out. The reason I didn't go with 17's was because I thought I'd need nothing done fitting 16s!!! | |

Ah, I'm just hoping my new wheels go on without much rubbing, I managed to get an 8" wide 15" rim ET35 on my old Corsa, so it shouldn't be hard to get a 7" 16 ET35 on. | |

I am a little confused about these wheel measurements! I know that the 16" is in the centre line of the wheel, and thats why they actually measure 17" when measured from the outside lip, but does the same apply for the tyre walls? My wheels are supposed to be 6.5" thick, but they actually measure 7" thick??? |
