No arch rolling required if you use the right tyres,
mine are 205/40/ZR16 on a 4x4 saph

was looking at doing this myself.
Should the tyres not be 45 profile? I thought that if you went up an inch in wheel size then you came down by a value of 5 on the tyre profile.

Don't seem to be to many options on black circles website.


Tyre brand / model Size Price
Nexen N 3000 205/40 R16 W
Kumho Ecsta 712 205/40 R16 W
Yokohama A520 205/40 R16 V
Cooper Zeon 2XS 205/40 R16 W

But if you use 45 profile then -

Tyre brand / model Size Price
Kumho Ecsta 712 205/45 R16 W
Falken ZE 512 205/45 R16 V
Kumho Ecsta Sport KU 31 205/45 R16 W
Nexen N 3000 205/45 R16 W

GT Champiro HPZ-45 205/45 R16 W
