Quick question guys, just got myself some Borbet Bs 7j wide, my Corsas lowered 60mm so ive been told 165/45 R15 & 165/50 R15 profile are the best, need advice on what is actually the best profile so I dont rub/score my arches? Thanks

45/15 will be smaller, so they'd be the best

What's the offset? As that'll play a big part in how close the tyres will be to the arch.
I got away with 185/45/15 minimal scrub on a 6.5" wide wheel et.33 lowered on FK coilovers (about 60mm on the rear)

The lower the offset the further out the wheel will sit from the car, and with a 7" wide wheel you'd be best aiming for skinny tyres to give the clearance you need
