15's are a pain in the ass, i ended up sticking 5mm spacers on the back, and belt sanding the arch, and smacking the fuck outta it. still want it lowered tho

go for it, the work u put in more chance init, look at the saxo on 20s!!

i think u can get a 195/45 tyre on 16's if i'm not mistaken and i cant see y they shouldn't fit

anythins possible but would require lots of archwork. ive sanded my rear arch on 15s and it still rubs with 2 in the back. so 16s wd need a lot of work!!

they will be a big pain in the ass mate!

ive got 15" compomotive which are 7 1/2 inches wide and that rubs sometimes.

if you get 16s with 195/40s they are essentially the same rolling radius as 15s with 195/45s so should be fine i reckon!

as john said

16's with 195/40 profile will fit on the same as 15's wth 195/45

and for 15's all you need is to bend a little lip

ive nevebr heard of cutting the arches for 15's

i also have comp mo's

i have 16s with 195/40 tyres and just need a very small amount of arche work just near the rear bumper.
