   wasn't sure if to post this in here or not, but was wondering if to buy 15 or 16" pro race 2s, thought 15s were ok but 16s may be a little to big, my car is lowered and I don't fancy have them grind lol, any one got any opinions or pics that could help me decide.

   think you'll have some problems with 16s, if you do plunge for 16s you would defo be best with 40 profile, but they don't come cheap. all in all, i'd go for 15s
   
   Not 1.2s but I'm sure this was Dannys on 40 profile 16s, dunno if he had rubbing though.
   
   
   
   and his again on 15s 45 profile
   
   
   
   dunno if this helps or not lol

   I think 15s. 16s can work but only on some cars, otherwise they look far to big!

   16's can fit if you are running the correct tyre, 195/40/16, my VTS came with 1.2's running this size tyre and was lowered 50mm. I did however notice that it had been rubbing on the arch liners when on full lock but not really too much of a big deal

   I had this debate myself, but after seeing many recommendations for 15's on here, I went for them, + they ended up being cheaper as the right profile on 16's was over £100 more
