195/45 or 195/40. 45s will be cheaper.

195/45 is standard on the 1.8. So yes it's a good size.

Tyres - I was using Toyo's. About £50 each then fitting.

my 45's cost 53 fitted a corner... then got some vaux lockers for 24.99, which i thought was a bit of a bargin, considering the tyre place wanted 35 sheets for some mcgard ones...

I run 40s on the GSi. Rolling radius is actually less than the standard 185/60/14.
