Phil, I would say to stick with 15's personally, just purely because you don't have sideskirts or splitters at all, which IMO would make the car look high with 16's on it.

I know it is slammed, but the floor of the car would still be a fair distance off the floor I think.

To be honest tom, with proper tyres on a 16" rim there isn't a LOT of difference to a 15".

I know this from Lee's car which had the 195/40/16 Tyres. Expensive, but worth it for the better looks!

True, Lee's does look good, but as you say that is because he has taken the effort and expense of fitting the correct tyres to it.

I'm just remembering Lamm13's car on SRI rims, and corsa_tomtom's looking the same - both looked high to me.

They handle better on 15s too Phil, mine was crap on 16s, even though they had the right offset.

Especially with the even stiffer tyre sidewall - will just skip all over the place.
