Looking at a new set of wheels 16s all round don't want to go to 205 width!  Thought that was correct size for them.

Thanks.  Looks like minimum size for 16s is 205!  :(

That's me not getting AD08r!  :'( :'(

I'm lost now, if you're going 16s all round why are we looking for 15s?

You can always go for 205/45/16 fronts and 225/45/16 rears.

I have this setup using Toyo R1R's on one of mine.  AD08R also come in these sizes.

As much as it pains me to write this... Not having AD08Rs is not the end of the world :)

I wouldn't recommend 205 front unless you feel you lack grip up front.
Made my steering heavy and lost some feel.
Gripped like stink.

It's strange that it doesn't matter how many mods I do wheels are the last thing I would change. My PFL on stock sizes are the most fun if a little skittish with a bit more poke.

Well the choices seam to be:

A. New wheels with 205/225 AD08r

B. New wheels with 195/215 Rainsports

C. Old wheels with ad08r at some point in the future! 

Make your choices!

Why the new wheels? Your "old" ones are rather tasty :) I like the MonzaRs. And AD08Rs... :)

Always wanted some Rotas at some point and can get some at a reasonable price!
