    Does anyone know the actual diameters of these 2 tyres sizes? There can't be much difference, or are the 16s slightly taller?

    Reason I ask is eventually I want to be running the 16s on my motor but my arches aren't rolled and I'm already getting a bit of rubbage with my 195/45s 15x7 rims, but the 16s will be the same offset (et25) and width (7"), it's just the diameter I'm worried about.

    While we're at it do you happen to know the diameter of 195/45/15s? Have you got a link with the info on? Cheers.

    I really can't afford them to be honest but I've spotted these for sale somewhere

    4x100 as well, so I was thinking of selling my 5x130 16s to fund them, but my bank balance is telling me not to buy any more wheels [:^(]
