| Its should be stamped in the back of them, its the number before the letter 'J' i.e. something like 7j 16D ET46.
or just stick a tape measure across it and tell em what that is. | |

| At and educated guess though id say they was 7s, in which case if go with 195/40s. the dunlop SP9000 are good imo | |

| Is it the tyres rubbing the suspension or actually rim of the wheels? depending on how much its rubbing and how much arch clearance you have a 5mm spacer should sort it. but it its just the tyre a 195/40 should sort it | |
