195/50/15.


Got 6mm spacers on the rear and 4mm on the front.

Rear sound like it's still rubbing slightly around bends and nearside front catches the inner arch on full lock.

The rear rubs against the spring seat on the shock

Should be 195/45/15 but I had to fit spacers on mine years ago as well.
Seems some cars had a bigger spring platform on the shock and that would rub.
ET35.
rears rubbed on my 2i till i spacered them, didn't rub at all without spacers on the nephews motor.
