juzzyp Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I have bought some new Mazda Sport Alloys off eBay, they are 16" rims. Now what's the difference between: 195/50/R16 and 205/45/R16 Which one do I get, I've noticed some sizes are harder come by than others. I've been quoted £65+VAT fitted per corner for Toyo T1R's for 205/45/R16 Help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50 aspect ratio has a rpm (revolutions per mile) of 602, the 45 aspect of 590, this falls well within the 5% guidelines... But the 205mm will need a 6.5 to 7.5 inch rim to accommodate.... Personally i feel the 195- 50 aspect would serve your car best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Well Im into see you on Wednesday at about 4pm for the checkup. I'll grab a quote on some F1's while Im there. It will be interesting to see how the chassis has settled......195/50-15 F1's are £48 all inclusive each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juzzyp Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Its OK Dan, Tony is right, Im currently running Toyo T1R's on 15 inch alloys. The 16 inch alloys are a project of mine, I need to get them refurbed first, but wanted to know where Im going with the tyres first that's all. Thanks for all your help, see you tomorrow Tony (if you can make sure you call me a half hour before - my diary is so full of stuff I bound to forget something tomorrow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
