Wink Series 2 on 16's

Have just bought a rare set of tsw evo's (not evo r's) and they are on 205/50 tyres would these be ok?? or am i better to go lower profile say a 45?? or ditching them altogether and going 195/45??? have run before on 17's and didn't like the way it drove and am fed up on my standards and love s2's on tsw evo's, any help would be appreciated, cheers.

205/50 is not nice. Too big, speedo will be out and will feel horrible IMO.

195/45/16 or 205/45/16.

16" tyres are not cheap. they're realy close to 17" prices for some reason. and with a "45" profile sidewall they're more.
