Ok, so i have some 15x7 wheels that i want to put on my mk5 'tina
i was planning on putting some 195/45/15 rubber on them but now i don't know whether to go for them or some 195/50/15 instead which seem to be somewhat cheaper. Also, according to this fitment guide
www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/TyreCalc.asp
the 50 profile would be 'better'
what d'ya reckon?
bear in mind it's not lowered as yet but i want to and also these new wheels have a wider offset than the original ones so the arches might need a bit of "rolling"
Also, i don't want to discuss the why's and why not's (unless it's an almighty no no) but i'm planning on white lettering on the tyres, can i just get one of those pens for the job and do it regardless of what tyre it is, or is it supposed to be only particular tyres
cheers
p.s. did anyone watch them probe wheels
?

. Plus you might get away with brushing against a few curbs without shagging the rims up - I have 45 profiles and my rims have got scraped to curse word! Not the fault of the tyre, mind, it's me!
