Re: Alloys/Rims With Tyres
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

Re: Alloys/Rims With Tyres
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

I've got these 14's for £50 as two need new tyres and two have some bubbling on the alloy, I'm in Manchester area.

Re: Alloys/Rims With Tyres
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 possibleSeanLove wrote:okay mate thanks, bit of a newbie when it comes to this, how do I know what the offset is on mine and what it should be?johnny wrote:Yeah but on 15 inch alloys a 165 tyre is just too thin, 195 is the usual correct size for a 15 inch alloy

If you zoom in you can see the ET49 stamped in between the bolt holes on the top rightJamieTee_ wrote:

Re: Alloys/Rims With Tyres
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

Re: Alloys/Rims With Tyres
And either doms or Jamie's are both Vauxhall alloys so will fit perfectly
