Wheel Noob please help. Tire help / issues with 16" x 7 ET45 fitment.

[ek9chris]

Looking for some advice / checking no issues before buying some new wheels.

Going on 98 EK9, not lowered, no big brakes to worry about clearance (unfortunately!).

They are 16 x 7 ET45 fitment, looking to get some AD08s with them

Looks like i can't get 16" AD08 in 195, so i'm guessing 205s would be right choice, 215s too wide for stock powered daily drive?

Should I go with 45/50/55 profile?

Will there be any rubbing issues with this set-up? I'm guessing not as these aren't exactly wide, but I just want to check won't need any arch rolling or anything.

I'm currently using 205-45's

Plenty of clearance and plenty of grip

Going upto 215-45's and softer as I spin up too easily

I got 205/45/16 to go on my regamasters, which are also 16x7 45 offset.

Thanks for the quick replies, just wanted to be double sure everything would fit ok.

i've run 215/45/16 on et43 without any issues, lowered slightly on spoon springs.
