I'm going to be purchasing some new wheels for by bravo 1.4, Can some1 just give me a straight answer to what size wheels i can fir on there 16/17??
I currently have 195/50/15..
 
u cant get 17" with 40mm drop on a bravo/a, no more than 7" width tho.

so 195/45/16 or 205/40/17
pcd of 4 x 98 or 4 x 100 with wobbly bolts

Stupid i know, but what does the 195/45 mean??
 
Re: Re: Re: Re: Alloy Wheel Selection

45 is the depth of the tyre and 195 is the width of the tyre
 
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Alloy Wheel Selection

the 195 is the width in mm,
the 45 is the % of the width that makes the tyre wall.

195 / 45 = 87.75mm for the tyre wall
