Buying a wheel

I need to buy a new set of alloys for my wife's ford fiesta

Her tyres are 195/50r 15
I've found a few sellers on adverts selling 195/60r 15
What's the difference between the two and would that size fit the car

The wheels themselves are the same, but the tyres on them have a bigger sidewall.

What year is your wife's Fiesta?

Either size will fit apparently. Both were factory fitted.

The outside circumference of the tyre will be bigger, the car will sit slightly higher, and the wheels will fill the arches more.

YOu can always use the old tyres on the new wheels too.
