Which tyre size to use for 15" BRM wheels

[Duckling68]

I am currently having my wheels refurbished and the old tyres are 195/60/R15 which look big and clumsy, I have been looking at options of what to replace them with and the common tyre size seems to be 185/65/R15.

What tyres are you using on 15" wheels on a slightly lowered van ?

I have 185/65 on the rear and 165/55 on the front

175/55/15 on the Front

195/65/15 on the Rear

Hi Nathan do you have any pictures of your van with the wheels & tyres on.

Cheers

I do but can't work out how to get em on here, are you on Facebook? They were on my late bay, just bought an early bay but will be going the same size again.

27 pages of tyre/wheel/suspension combos. Your perfect combo will probably be in there somewhere. Have fun

205/60/15 rears and 165/45/15 fronts.

but most go for 185/65/15 rear and 165/ 50 /15 (so called slam tyres) front , ps if you get these fronts get the bridgestones they have a nice flat front wall that looks better than other makes.
