Check your car before you buy

These are the sizes the manufacturer fitted to this model. A specific car can differ — optional alloys, a previous owner's upgrade, run-flats or a space-saver spare all change the answer. The two places that never lie are the sidewall of a tyre already on the car, and the placard in the driver's door shut. Tyres are a safety item, so confirm against one of those before ordering.
