Cars looking good mate, really liking those rims (maybe polish the dishes?!)
I think you mean 195/50/15's If you after real low pros, get some 165/50's or 175/50's, they'll give a good stretch!

haha ye thats wot i mean !
so i should still buy 50's ??? they will be to chunky wont they ?
i need some stretched so the tyre goes well under the arch and low pro (so i can get it low without catching )

It all depends what tyres you go for, if the stretch is big enough on the 165/50 or 175/50 then the overall side profile will not be 50 anymore...
Does that make sense?

I wasn’t saying you know nothing about tires, just that I have never found them in that size (I bet they exist somewhere though!)
Keep us posted!
