Hello, i've got a chance to aquire some 16" 306 alloys for my track car. The question is, would they be better for handling? Or not much difference? I've got 9 cyclones as well so I would still use the 15's as spares. Are 195 or 205/45/16 the same size as 195/50/15?

I've been using 195/55/15 tyres at the moment because I've got loads of them and they all suffer from leaning on the side wall going around corners, would 50 profile stop that?

plus you'll need spacers, longer bolts to fit them, tyres are more expensive etc

Ah, I thought they were a direct fit. I'll stick with the cyclones then. Just have to buy some 50 profile tyres.
