Well i most likely wont be able to get them in 14" so gonna have to be 15's probably. Just the problem is, even with the 195/45/15 - common ones, they have a fair bit of difference to performance (bout 3% according to the calc).

Have to shop about and see if they do them with 195/40/15, thats only 0.6% difference then, which should be ok

edit: Figures assume that standard rims are 175/60/13

They dont make 195/40s

195/45s should be ok though, the speedo is very innaccurate anyway.

But i think 14s look best ;)

Bugga :p

yea the 14s are, but theres very little available in that size unfortunately - so pretty much have to go for 15's.

My concern isnt really the inaccuracy on teh speedo, but more performance related. Bigger wheels meen less accelleration?? And i aint got that much to play with having the 999cc. Mind, theres less weight :confused:
