Ok so just upgraded my alloys from a set of 14" Tornado alloys to a set of 16" taken from a new 207, now cause the 14s were 175/65 and 16 have 195/55 the car is riding a little high and of course the speedo is out so...

Can anyone suggest a set of lower profile tyres that will rectify this slightly?

also whats the general consensus with regard to the spare tyre?

Thanks in advance

I had 205/45/R16 for a bit of extra grip and contact patch.

Doesn't matter too much about the spare wheel. As long as it's relatively close to the others it's fine. It's not like you'd drive all that far with it on anyway.... well you shouldn't.
