Sorry this is another tyre/wheel size post, I have been looking at tyre combinations for the standard wheels and have come up with this for federal rsr

Front 205 50 zr15 diameter 589 width 210
Rear 205 45 zr16 diameter 589 width 209

Any advice appreciated I have been looking at 17 wheels but would rather keep the standard wheels if I can

I was going for that combination with 205/50/16 on the back but on the federal website they were only recommended for a rim size up to 7 inches strangely the 205/45/16 were 7.5 inches is it that critical or is it like a best before date

The wheel size table I use says that 7 inch wheels are ok for 195-225mm widths, 7.5 inch wheels are good for 205-235mm widths. What are the standard wheels? I simply cannot remember.....as I have been on 17 inch wheels for about two years now.
I believe they are 7.5 so I think I should be ok
