Question

what size can I get away with on the wifes Ka ?
Dont want to pay over the odds for tyres though.
was looking @ 15" s what tyre size am I looking at ??
she doesnt have the car yet so I dont know the original size to be able to use one of the tyre size calculator things.

Cheers

195/45/15 are no worries, wheel must have an offset of ET35 though.

everybody else will say they don't rub but mine do, very slightly on the inside of the arch liner, drivers side

195/40/16 are ok, same as 205/40/17

'p2kka' has 18's but not too sure on correct size

Paul, thank you for your kind offer but why buy the whole car when I can just come round and leave the car on bricks

we have a lot of meets and there is always somebody who has had any or all of the problems associated with standard and modded kas

oops, have editted it but hope it makes sense now!!!

we also have a ka on mini-lites and me personally, i think it looks well smart!!
