Olly, the profile on the side of the tyre isn't measuerd in mm's, its a percentage of the width. So a 205/40 has higher profile sides than a 195/40 | |

Also shell tolerances differ from shell to shell, so some are ok other aren't. | |

vaux sell softstars in 16's but you have to get low profile tyres otherwise they wount fit them. i would say the tyres are 50 profile. | |

I will have to have a look at the tyres tonight, I did notice that they have extremely large tyre walls so could be a 50 rather than 45mm like mine. | |

i would take the arch bolys out and bond the arches on, or just beat the lip with a hammer! | |

you need 195/45/16 i am guessing she has 205/45 off a diff vaux hence the rubbing :( either change the tyres or take the bolts off the plastic arch | |

I believe its the size of the tyre, they have massive tyre walls. | |
