I'd go with the D90's with a decent amount of rubber on them.

Very low profile tyres just look wrong on a T3 ...kind of like it was adapted to run on rails.

Got a soft spot for D90's now since i sold mine... :cry: so D90's get my vote never really liked the others tho i do like 17 & 18 inch rims those ones jus dont suit in my humble opion. :D
I had 225/55 16 up front n 245/55 16 up rear and Pirelli P6000's seem chunkier round the bead n help stop you curbing them. 8)

I have voted for the D90's. Bigger is usually better (up to 18" IMO) but style is most important and the D90 suits the slab sides better.

Get the new tyres and paint 'em gloss black with a polished rim.
