Got 5 decent tyres at 195/65/R15 on steels
And some bbs alloys at 225/60/R15 with not so good tyres.
Alloys look to be a inch wider. Worth attemping a tyre swop?.
All thoughts welcome on the swop

I have 195/65/15 winter tyres on 7J BBS and its fine. Its the minimum recommended tyre width for a 7J wheel. Although it does look undersized.
I think its best to get standard fit tyres though.

I have 185/60/15 winter tires on some 7j BBS, works fine for me and doesn't look as good as 205/55 but does the job nicely.

225/60 are a much better tyre for an everyday car Gaz, curb protector bulges FTW!

Didn't bother in the end. Thought better of it. Heavy car the e34. Feels over engineered compared to the e30.
