Doh! They protrude more than I thought.
Thanks for taking trouble to educate me. What Width are stock wheels & what width/ET do you think I should have only wanting them to stay inside existing arches comfortably with F195/R205 x 65 x 15 tyres?

Hobba wobba ^^^^^^^ if they are 7s then I would say offset is closer to 20 to be that flush.

Should I just go for the same width as my stock wheels (Whatever they are) with a offset of ET 25 or 30.
What size tyres do suggest, I do not like low profiles (rim damage/punctures) remember I live in the stick of Devon so M&S/AT tyres are sensible down be yerr! If there is grass in the middle of the road, it does not mean your on a Dual Carriageway yay

A 195/50R15 is the same as a 185/60R14 is the same as a 175/70R13 is the same as a 155(80)R13.

195/50R15 are cheap and plentiful. Not teeth rattlers either.

I reckon if you're paying for wheels, you have to go wider. Stock would be 14x6 I expect.

You want 6.5J to 7.5.J.

5.5 is rubbish. That's like a 70s steel rim.

You are not wrong. Who specifies a 205/60 on a 5.5 rim. That's the tire version of a muffin top :lol:
