Styling wheels

[ts86net]

What size wheels (and tyres) will fit straight on my '98 Marea Weekend ELX?

I'm interested in getting the 16" or 17" Stilo alloys for it, but don't want to lose full lock or get arch rubbing problems, or want to modify the arches etc.

Any info appricated.

Thanks,

presuming you've got 195/55/15s you should get 205/45r16 on.

Met Cognac 99 Brava 100 HSX, wish it'd clean itself!

205/40/17's are virtually the same size as 195/55/15's, only 0.1% diff in diameter.

My original steel wheels where 14", 195/65 I think tyre size.

17" would've been a bit too big I thought (to keep the same diameter).

Spec........Sidewall..Rad.....Dia......Circ....Revs........Difference
195/65-14 |5.0 in |12.0 in |24.0 in |75.3 in |841 / mile |N/A
195/55-15 |4.2 in |11.7 in |23.4 in |73.7 in |860 / mile |-2.2%
195/45-16 |3.5 in |11.5 in |22.9 in |72.0 in |880 / mile |-4.5%
205/40-17 |3.2 in |11.7 in |23.5 in |73.7 in |860 / mile |-2.2%

So 205/40-17 are actually smaller than 195/65-14
