I spend ages faffing about on these online tyres places when people here already know the answer...
if I want a low profile wide 16" tyre, what are the common sizes? IE not the sizes only made by Bridgestone or Avon or whoever for like £300 a corner, but easy to get, "competitive" priced and easy to find in part worns... for like 8" or 9" rim widths.

Lexarse.  215s would be OK if I wanted to run skinnys on the front for the drag race look. I'm thinking like 255 or 265 ideally. |

Not sure anything in 265 flavour will be 'cheap'
Know what you mean about 'standard' size.
My old clio had odd width wheels/tyres that made the cost of the tyres twice that of an almost identical size tyre.

sometimes going from a 50 profile to a 45 profile doubles the price of the tyre. Or halves it. 265 is the "wish", 255, 245, what ya got? there are loads of options on 15s and 17s for sure. Seen some 8x16 and 9x16 wheels which 'should' fit the Lexus, and I'm considering what tyres prior to bidding.
