195/55-16 vs 205/50-16 pics?
Shopping for new non run-flats for my set of 16" X-Lites and was wondering how set of 205/50-16s will look on my MINI versus the 195/55-16s. Anybody out there willing to post pics of their MINI wearing 205/50-16s?! Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Less used and less choices, but you may want to look at the 215 50 16 also.

Nice!
I'm considering the same tires, so a couple questions:
-What's the width of those wheels?
-Presumably, your car has the JCW suspension in that picture, correct?

They were 16x7 with a +37 offset and, yes, the JCW suspension was already installed when I took that pic.
