Your owners manual has the limits. Buy the biggest ones the car manufacturer allows. Turn the tires to the limit and get out and look..

You can stick to the same overall radius with various permutations. All tyre dealers have a reference chart giving the variations.

Your speedometer and odometer aren't going to give accurate readings. They're actually going to show you going slower than you are.

Sometimes you get different sized wheels fitted to similar model cars.

For example Mondeos can have 14 15, 16 17 or 18 inch wheels.

You'd never get a 15 inch tyre to fit on a 14 inch wheel, it just wouldn't go.

Best thing is to check with the manufacturer.

Not a Corsa by any chance is it?

inside the drivers door is the sticker with the reccomended. size. . as long are not hitting. the only other concern is speedometer accuracy. According to tirerack. I just picked a brand. but the tires on you car now are about 1.5 inches bigger than stock. Depends on your brand though to be accuate

as long as they dont rub i dont see the damage.

You have but one choice

no no no who told you that !!
Ask them if the overall diameter has changed,
answer NO
Someone who fitted the tyres previously did a slight cosmetic change to the vehicle but did a good job the extra 10cm depths helps with better grip. so don't worry lol

Spade

it depends.
if u have rubbige then u need smaller tires.
if not then it shouldnt matter.
