Rota gt3's 16"
iv been looking into them and have decided if im going to get them i would like 195/45-16 tyres to fit so it doesnt play about with the geometry too much, and will still be friendly to my arches as iv had arch trouble before with my 200 and it just pissed me off big time. but would you suggest otherwise?

Re: Rota gt3's 16"
I've had these wheels, kind of heavy for my tastes but average for an alloy 16x7" wheel. I recommend 205/45/16" tires though, they won't really give you trouble with fitment but will give you more grip than a 195.

Re: Rota gt3's 16"
im not eally bothered about grip as its anything but a race car and with it being the coupe its a little longer and harder to keep in a straight line round the corners, so i tend not to give it the beans round a corner lol. only reason i was thinking 16's is because of the large quarter panels that are on it added on with the bootlid also. kind of makes 15s look really small on the rear compared to the front

Re: Rota gt3's 16"
Well if you don't care for cornering grip 205's will help your acceleration and braking times vs. 195's.
