I've got the std 225s on my original equipment wheels & um, 195s as winter tyres on a set of scabby 15" Sierra Cossie wheels (the snowflake patterned 1s) & yes they do look very unpleasent on the car even with 30mm spacers behind them. However the cut throught the snow that's outside my house for 3 months a year quite nicely & use measurably less petrol. Or maybe I'm just being a girl & not booting it so much when it's slippy.
