    You should be ok with either tyre size as long as your not using spacers or anything to alter the offset of the wheel (which will be et49) did you ever get anything sorted with the engine?

    Is it going on a Mk3 Astra?

    The standard 15" tyre size on, for example, a Mk3 Astra sport is 195/55/15. My sport was lowered 60mm and there was no scrubbing at the back, even with the car 4 or 5 up.

    PS - Slabs are fricking horrible wheels lmao

    going the cav slabs route so no spacers or that and yes kinda sorted i can run car for a good while but as soon as i sit a lights or still for a while it shoots to 100 fan kicks in alot better since i realised coolant cap ages ago but if gets worse will either drop a 1.6 8v or 2.0 8v but thats a last option
