You'll need to call dobinsons or something for a crazy size like that. I can get them in Ballarat, but don't know about melb.

You just want regular road tyres or R comp or what?

well i had r32 gtr wheels on my fto stock tyres that came with it was a 50 profile like my stocky fto tyres, just wider.

45 profile 16s will be more expensive due to not being common. As most 45 profiles sit on a 17inch wheel.

He is trting to make a name for himself out there for big tyres, like 20"+ so he can probbly get weird sizes.
