Tyres (again!) What sizes do i need on these wheels??

[darrenmr2]

Hey guys, sorry for 'another tyre post'...i have searched and cant find what i need!

I have white 16'' Enkei 5 spokes on my car...(dont know width or offset sorry!) Running rebuildable struts, Koni inserts and standard springs. Just replaced the rear tyres with the same size that were on (225/50/16) got some 452's...so far so good!

Now the fronts will need doing soon, but they have 215/45/16 on...is this right?? Car looks a bit odd with lower profiles on the front! Or, have i put the wrong size on the rears?? Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

Just done a bit of searching..cant find many 215/50/16..or they are VERY expensive! So, would 205/50/16 be ok on the front with 225/50/16 on the rear??

Mine has 195/50-16's on the front and 205/50-16's on the back and when it comes to replace the rears with 225/50 the 205's will go on the front.

45's are damn expensive although i do like the sound of 245/45-16's ,bit ott maybe.

stock width is 195 front & 225 rear (+13% width to rear)
so the 205 will be closer to original handling traits than 215
(215 will promote oversteer)

Excellent,thanks guys 205/50 on the front and 225/50 rear it is then! Cheers, Darren
