Gazbarber1982 3 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hello again. How much difference would there be if I went with 195/50/15's instead of 205/50/15's? I know there's 10mm width difference but would it be noticeable on a charged vr? My car spins with 205's easy enough with new proxies in the dry but lookin to try r888's up front. 195 seem about 50 quid cheeper though!! Any help would be much appreciated!! Also, what is the recommended tyre size for 16's? I've got a set of bbs split rims off a mk4 golf / bora and looking to wrap them in a decent set of tyres. Are 205/45/16 the tyres to be after? Not after stretching tyres as i've heard they can pop off the rim under 'stress' Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I ran 195/50 15 r888 as they fit under arches 205s wouldn't.As for the 16s it depends on width of wheel? I ran 195/45 16s on my Porsche 928 wheels on both 7 and 8s with a slight stretch on 8s at back Link to post Share on other sites

Smurf 0 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi I've just bought some W rated 205's form Formula 1 motor centers, cheapest by far. I'm running 16" rims with 8mm spacers on the rear. They work a treat cost with tracking for 4 tyres was 205 of your pounds bargan or wot. From F1 crawley and others PS F1 did the best tracking job ever for 25 quid amazing value. Link to post Share on other sites
