any problems fitting 195/45/15 tyres on standard wheels


Recommended Posts

78 indicates a max weight of 425kg and 86 = 530kgs. Apparently at the max speed rated which will either be 149mph for R or higher for ZR

so should be fine as long as you don't load it to the gills and go as fast as can be.

P.s. My 16Ver gives tyre pressures for both 205 and 195 on the petrol filler cover.

the permissable max gross weight is 1680kg according to the manual. base weight is around 1200kg. max axle weights by chassis design are 955kg for the front and 780kg for rear.

unless you've got fat friends and/or load it with bottled beer you'll be unlikey to get anywhere near 400kg to physically fit. So in my opinion the maths work out but I don't know how fat your friends are or how loaded it's going to be.

And you won't be going at the tyres max speed either. Just make sure you inflate the tyres accordingly when loaded.

by the by the standard BBS rims are only rated to 500kg which is less the 205s *-)
