15" Dynamique wheels

[ForceIndia]

As above, will these go straight onto a ph2 172?

Should do, all they are is smaller. I've got a set of 16" Ph2 172 alloys on a 1.2 dynamique, only thing I had to adjust is the rear wheel arch liners as they were rubbing on the inside corner of the tyre wall.
But arches are bigger anyway on the 172's, so you shouldn't have a problem.

yeah believe so..

Happy days, thanks for the replies. Next question, what profile tyres will I need to keep the same diameter as the 16's?

I run 185/55/15, 195/50/15, and 205/50/15 depending on track/weather/whatever.

They're all close enough to a 195/45/16 or 205/45/16 to make any difference in rolling radius completely un-noticeable.

Here's mine wearing 185/55/15...

Bear in mind 195/50/15 are cheaper though.

Do you use those on track Mark? What brand are they?

That's odd. Mine handles exactly the same - it is running the same suspension after all.

Do you mean it has less grip?

I like mine on the 185s, means you can have a laugh with it at lower speeds.

I don't use these 185s on track - they're winter road tyres only, and with them being only 185, it helps keep my speed down while the roads are greasy as hell.
