Been looking at new tyres and dont actually know what size tyres are supposed to go on the Turini's!
At the moment they have 195/45/16s on but they actually have a bit of stretch on. Only a tiny bit mind but id rather have the correct tyres on there. Looking on the internet, the wheels are 7" wide. Would i need 195s or 205s on these for the correct size?
Im bloody useless when it comes to wheels!

well ive just worked it out and the total diameter of the 45/16s come in at 10mm smaller diameter than the standard 55/15s. 45/205s come in at 0mm difference so it should be perfect!

Well thats helpful!
Think i will stick with 195s. Further away from the standard rolling radius but the tyres i want are 20 quid a corner cheaper in 195!

Sidewall would be around the same as a 45 with 205/40
And you won't get no stretch

Yours is probably lower than mine though. In fact, i think a Unimog is lower than my car

Ill try and get a pic tomorrow. Its only very minimal but still a bit there. Also if i fit 205s, it will bring the profile up so that the overall diameter is only about 2mm off the standard 195/55/15s

195/45/16 is what I ran on the Superleggera's and they rubbed ocasionally. There is minimal stretch, but get a tyre with rim protector and there won't be an issue running a 195.
205 is closer to OEM overall diameter but I would be concerned enough to get the arches rolled.
