    16's on 195/45 tyres will rub even when not lowered, 195/40 tyres wont though. 40mm will look grand

    Are you wanting to get the arches modified (inside) or are you just after a straight fit on wheel and lowered a bit?

    16 inch wheels, with a 195/40/R16 tyre will not require arch modifications for up to about 30-35mm.

    If on 195/45/R16 inch tyres on your 16's, then even unlowered, it will require arch mods.
