Hi Trev , just saw you are looking at 16" wheels . Found this tyre calculator , you will need 205/40/16 tyres to keep your speedo correct .  Graham PS its not a common size had a look and not many places doing this size |

Thanks Graham
16" like 14" are an odd size and not widely avaliable but the tyre's I'm after R1R's come in these sizes
the rears are going to be 225/45/16 and the fronts 205/45/16 my speedo is out at the moment by about 20% so when I see 70 I'm actually doing 82
so the calculation should be closer when I change
the rears will be bigger in diameter thus bringing the speed back into line
I will double check with your calculator.
Trev.

Well I have finally done it! I have gone for some Force racing 3 peace Billets Bespoke and hand made polished alloy wheels Fronts are 7" 13s with a 2" instep and the rear 9" with a 3" instep 13s staggered look. and here are the bad boys Hope you like them as much as I do. 18 months in the search and finally, well worth the wait and the money! The tyres are Avon Cr500 205/55/13 front and the rears are 245/45/13 Real wide! fills out the rear arches beautifully.            After being out on a run today I have to say the tyres are Awesome what a difference from before smoother and the grip is unreal and that's on damp cold roads can't wait til summer. Trev. |
