what size tyres to use??

Do not put on wide quarters with those sized wheels.

205/55 is quite balooney also on 8s, but the most common 16" part worn you'll get.

thanks for all the advice lads, forgot to mention the car is only for track days and i don't want to have to spend 30euro a tyre for part-worn 17's when i can get 16's for 10euro and I'll get alot for free from some tyre guys i know

I'm just going to bin the idea of the arches for a while and stick with the 16's on the back anyway to keep the cost of trackdays down so i can get more seat time

may look a little odd with 16's on an 180 but hopefully will be some smoke machine

If i put 205 55 on 16x8 what would i put on 16x7 205 aswell or smaller??

55 sidewall is huge percentage of a 205 width tyre. balloon spec infact. there realy weak sizes no way would i put fenders anywhere near them! slam, space on standard bodywork, and driftttt!

sound stevo, I don't really give a shit if the look balloony
I bought 16's on purpose so i can get cheap tyres
I'm only startin drifting the less cost of track days the more I can afford to go to.

Exactly, some of the balloony tyre lads have short memories as they were happy as fuck running 16" grids with balloony tyres not so long ago

Yes indeed Stephen! Free tyres for the win! Although they did indeed look shite
