    Running VTR alloys on the Xsara and always on the hunt for new tyres.

    Currently running 185 60 14, which runs a tyre height of:

    185/60 - 111mm
    185/55 - 101.75mm
    185/50 - 92.5mm

    195/55 - 107.25mm
    195/45 - 87.75mm

    Currently on the cards is: Major strip out, slam on coilovers with cut springs after seeing my mates slammed Civic. I dont want the tyre to small as the wheel would look tiny in the arch and i dont want it to big so i can go lower to the ground...

    +1. I think it depends on the VTR's J. But something like the 185/55 would be about spot on for the look you are going for.
