BBS RM Tyre sizes

Got a set of BBS RM 012 which i'm fitting new 1 inch dishes to the front and maybe 1.5 on the back.

Just wondered what tyre sizes people would recommend are best to fit the arches? Arches are rolled but not flared out.

Does anyone have any pics of theirs?

Cheers 

What's the overall width going to be then?

Remember our friends in the Constabulary are stomping their Dr Martins quite heavily on 'illegally modified' cars at the moment.

This is the 'recommended' table of wheel vs tyre sizes

Other good info on the website.

Of course it's entirely (see what I did there  ) up to you………….

 

From memory my standard RM 012 are 6.5" wide.

So you could run the same size all round with less stretch on the fronts, say 185 or 175.

Or run a smaller size up front.

195 on a 7" is pretty much no stretch.

Its just finding tires in 15" without a huge profile!

Look at RichieVR, I think his rm's are around 7 and 7.5"

I'll be running 165's on my 7" rims

Thanks for the replies. If anyone has any pics of theirs it would be really helpful, hopefully it'll be comfortably in the arches.  

I've bought a 175/50 and 195/45 going to trail fit both. Only problem is what plod think of a 175 on a 7J wheel!
