it all depends on the width of the rim. there are suitable tyres for certain rims depending on what width they are.
if you want a good fitting tyre for a 7" rim, i'd suggest a 195/45
if you want a stretch on the tyre if you have an 8 or 9" rim then you start to down size abit. i've seen 195/45s on 9" rims, which create a mad stretch.
just all depends what look you want and what rim you have

The rims I am looking to buy are the Montreal II's like Dino's. There available on 195/45/16 tyres. What do you reckon? By the way has anyone on here got any to sell, I would be interested, PM if you know anyone who has.

Thanks guys

on a 7.5" rim a 195/45 or a 205/45 would be fine in my opinion

So basically either of the two will do? one isnt preffered over the other or anything like that? Do you think £250 is worth a set of Monty II in semi mid condition with Continental tyres with 5mm remaining?

what tyres are they? edit - contis I see - spot on!

sounds good to me. personally I'd go for 205's as I think they are closer to the original circumference, but I could be speaking rubbish. 195's would be fine.

i wouldnt use that as a guide though as the rim width is the important thing here
my new rims are going to be 9j on the rears, in theory i'd be needing a 235 or even a 245 on the rear and its still only 16" in diameter....but im going to be stretching a thinner tyre over it :lol:
