does anyone have any photos of both 195/45r15 and 195/50r15 tyres on a 5?
i cant decide between yoko parada's in 50 profile or either yoko s-drives or t1-rs in 45 profile.

do 50's look stupid on the 5?

I think paradas are my favourite tread, what wheels are the tyres for? I'd personally go with t1r's 45s. 50s on 15s mite scrub if it's low?

although a crap pic my old r5 was on 50s and it rubbed on back on bumps etc. but barely .. i myself would go for 45's or even a stretch

Hey,

I've got 45's on the front and 50's on the back. Definately go for the 45's even if a bit more.

I regret getting the 195/50/r15's.

There's a lot more tyre wall. :P

a very nice tyre, but i myself have changed over to the eagle f1 gsd3's as they feel a better tyre all round and for less than 10 extra per tyre:cool:

cheers im looking towards a set of ph1 19 16v alloys, guessing 45's would make them look bigger. i was looking at a set of r888's as i dotn do many miles but guess they'll probly be a 50?
