Ok this has been asked before i know, i just got some escort gti alloys....they are 15's yes? They can only be used with 195,15,45 yes ? Thismsg is to show someone to confirm this, they are currently on 195,15,50. The car is lowered, i dont know the ride heights etc, never checked it since i bought it,i have low profile tyres ready to go on the rims, it should be straight forward? Thanks in advance

the 50 profile tyres will fit on the car depending on what tyres they are, but tbh most 50 profile catch or rub hence where everyone goes for 45 profile, plus the 45 profile on a 15 inch rim is as near as damn it the same size as say a 60 profile on a 13 inch rim meaning the speedo isnt much if anything out

Mine dropped 35mm on 50 profile tyres, only get scrubbing on full lock.

Don't use full lock = Have no problem :D

ive got toyo proxes which are 50 and they opnly rub when i have a full car

my fiesta is lowered 50mm.

apparently proxes r a good tyre to go for as they are narrow..

my old fiesta had 17s with 195/45/17 p zeros on and that didnt scrape and it was lowerd 40mm
