My Van is currently running on 17 inch 5 spoke alloys with a 225/55 size Tyre.
Personally I think they look to big. And as I am looking to have her lowered soon I think they will rub in the arches, unless you guys know better.

Question is if I go for a set of 15 inch rims what size Tyre should I go for, so that it doesn't affect the speedo reading. And also with a possible 50mm drop doesn't rub the arches.

Any ideas out there and what Have others done.

Here's a pic of my van with 15" Audi alloys and 195/65 tyres - I think they look too small, so maybe 16" would be perfect!



I've now gone back to standard and will be selling the alloys.

This is an old pic of mine with 16 inch wheels

Just wondered if you could tell me what sort of difference it makes to your speedo having 17inch alloys on cheers

Dan...195/70,205/65 or 215/65 for 15" wheels depending on the width of the alloys?
