165's Will be an awful amount of stretch, it'd be just dangerous to run that much stretch, the tyre could pop off the rim
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yeah but on 15 inch alloys a 165 tyre is just too thin, 195 is the usual correct size for a 15 inch alloy

And as said in the other thread get the offset right and 195s won't scrape without going fairly low

Should be stamped on the back of the alloy should say ET 49 if there Vauxhall alloys and if there aftermarket your looking to be as close to ET49 as possible

Maybe 5 either way with standard suspension, but if you plan on lowering 5 can be to much, but if you go under you can get a spacer to bring it closer to ET49
