the wheels have 195/45/16 tyres on them but theyre fooked. theyre also slightly stretched to fit the rim.

 

what other sizes of tyres would fit?

 

im guessing it would be a 205 to fill the rim better, but would i be able to go 205/50 or would it have to be 205/45?

 

would 215s fit?

215/40 :cheers:

 

how wide is the rim?

as above, as long as its a 6.5+ J rim they're the ones to go for - nothing wrong with 195/45/16s on <7.5J though - many manufacturers specify them ;)

theyre 7.5 wide.

 

does that make much difference?

yeah , because theyre wider , certain size tyres will be stretched on :)

205 is max width without spacers on mondeo 16s or 215 is ideal size with a maximum of a 45 profile ON 7.5J rims ,its all down to offset at the end of the day

if they are 7.5 rims fit 215 tyres ;)
can i put 195/45/15 on my GTI wheels, when i asked my local tyre centre for them they said it would knock the speedo way out.

You could, it wouldn't seriously affect the speedo, but it'd negatively affect traction and ride quality.
