    What 16" tyres to use

    Just got some 16 x 7 rims and wondering what tyres to go with.

    195/50R16 or 205/45R16 would both fit, any advice welcome?

    Depends on the rim, your ride height and look you are going for? Perhaps a look of the rim first?

    195's are fairly nice on a 7.

    I've got 205/45/R16 on my 16x7" OZ Ultraleggera. I'm more a 'go' guy then a 'show' guy, so I love it. Nice n grippy and protects my rims.
