escos rims are 8" wide, so best tyre width would be 225, so goind 195 your 30mm to thin! if possible id be going for the wider tyres if you can fit them as i dont like the idea of too stretched tyres

Had 195/40/16 on the front and 195/45/16 on the rears. Arches didnt need cutting and no other modifications were needed

Driving wise was a bit harsh at times (prob due to the elastic band tyres lol) but i lived with it

hope that helps

205/45-16 is a good size, not to stretched & a bit more ride comfort & protection for the rims!

Yeh but if you look around you might able to get one cheaper like, if not that is a fair enough price.

When coming to fitting it the original rubber style splitter on the frst bumper needs to come off...
Then this VR6 one needs cutting/trimming from the middle on both the pieces to make it fit/adopt onto your bumper

hope that helps
