Not quite the right ones. The fronts you have have there are the narrow 185s, but the rears are the wider 225s. You either need the 185F/205R factory sizes, or the 195/50/15F & 225/45/16R wider fit that most folk go for.

Ahhhhhhhhh, see I took the sizes from the tyres on the car at present??

Its the 111s elise. I do believe the last owner increased the profile of the tyres a bit and it seemed fine so was going to stick with it.

What should I be buying then 195/50/15 for fronts and 225/45/16 for the rear. I take it the 195's will fit aswell as the 185's but the 195's are the better ones to go for?

This tyre game is too complex

That's correct Scott, 195 fronts, 225 rears.

I think everyone is pointing you here:

Fronts: 195/50/15

Rears: 225/45/16

I'd trust most of SE over the previous owner of your car.

I'd also ignore the fact it's a 111s since I reckon that pretty much just means the engine is VVC, the interior is different, and the wheels are a different style, compared to say my regular Elise.
Fairly certain the suspension / anything else relating to the handling/tyres is identical no?

Does Holly actually let you out on your own?

Not strictly true - the rear rims on a 111S were half an inch wider.

Hahaha sometimes if I am a good boy

This tyre stuff really confusses me though, I just thought order same size as the tyres on the car

Thanks I will order these at lunch and I hope these will definately fit. I know the wheels are slightly different at the rear. My suspension is different and been lowered quite a bit, noticable when I was on the road run and everyone managed down to the car park apart from me who could get down the hill as it was scraping in the middle. Just want to make sure the tyres will be 100% fit without rubbing arches etc or the car dropping down too much?
