I'm assuming you have standard arches that have not been rolled, flared or removed and replaced with some sort of plastic arches.
I'm also assuming you have a lowered car and you want the tyres to fit inside the lip of the arch and not grind when you turn a corner or go over a bump.

Set one - chance are the tyres on the front will hit your arch lip unless you stretch some silly 165 tyres on them.

Second set - much better set up in my opinion. Shoud clear niclr with a 195/50 or 195/45 set up on the front and either a 195 on the back or even a 205 to help fill the difference front to back on the track.

Just my opinion of course.  ;)

Yea the car is lowered and the arches have not been rolled. The problem i have is i really like the 1st set of wheels but I'm not a fan of stretch tyres.
