Hi guys,
Just wanted to know what's the lowest profile you can go on 12"X5" minilites, and secondly what size tyre gives the NICEST looking profile to said wheels. + any comments on mechanical implications of low profile tyres i.e. wearing bearings faster etc...
All coments much appreciated

are you after putting lower profile tyes on than the standard, whilst keeping the 12" rims? if so, why?? wont it bugger up the speedo reading and things, being a smaller overall diameter?
