Do you think it'll improve much with this change? I cant decide if I should keep my wheels (sport 3 spokes) or get some cav gsi ones with 195/45's on... main reason I wanna swap now is the handling is a bit weird, the back just doesnt feel planted at all... 15's on my old corsa it felt pretty stable to chuck around but my 1.6 sport really doesnt! fair play its quite front heavy though (aircon dont help) so need it to feel more planted..

15's the way to go? reckon even with say the same make tyres it'd handle better with a bit wider footprint and less profile?

would i be better going for 185/55's seeing as they're only 6" wide if i get cav gsi rims, tigra rims etc... have to admit the 45 profiles look MUCH nicer though! i had 45's on my astra gls wheels which may have only been 5.5" wide and they did seem a bit wider than the wheel itself i will admit lol
