Hello, just bought a set of 16" Borbet A's. Wondering if anyone can help me with tyre sizes, I know people mainly use 215/40/16's but personally I dislike low profile and that much stretch.....

I'm hoping 225/45/16 would work, the rim is 9j et15.

If anyone has had any experience with this size I'd love to know before dishing out for new rubber!

Cheers in advance.

yep, will be fine. I'd agree in that that look much better than 205 and 215/40s that some people put on 9Js too
