right... just got a set of Seat Ibiza Cupra wheels 16" for my GTI but they have 195/45/16 tires, just wanted to know if anyone else as got same size tyres and if they look ok? i mean, do they look fatter on the car (height of the car) or they look normal? i've not lowered my car...
pics would help as well

thanks

You should ideally fit 195/40/16s to keep the rolling radius closest to original.

Seconded, they also look better.

You can ride 195/45s though

195/45's are ok if you aren't lowered
