Default 16 inch wheels on Sierra Estate

Hi all,

Got a Sierra estate on standard suspension. Currently running 14" steelies and was planning to go for some 15" alloys but I've came across some 16" ones which I like.

Just wondering if they'll fit without any arch modification and what size tyre I'd need to run.

Current tires are 185/65/14.

should go on without any issue running 195/45/16 or 195/50/16.. if you try running 205/50/16 it will catch on lock and maybe on bumps

depending on alloy you want a et from say 35 to 45 you can fit up et48 but really you want closer to et35.. if there any less then 35 it may cause you issues no matter what tyre you fit

Will find out ASAP. All I know is they are 16" and the guy previously had them on his Capri. I've attached a photo for now.
