15's on a 182 Cup

[Carlos Fandango]

Should I try 15's, the car is used everyday and on track, some people seem to prefer 15's, what tyre size should I try, 195/50/15's are cheap as chips!

I've got 195/50/15's on my Dynamique and are noticably better than 185/55/15 and yes, they are definately cheaper!!!

£55 fitted for a PE2.

 

[Gaz_]

yes, i liked mine, felt better

Sure i had 195/50 15's. GSD 3's are around 35 a corner

Get some ph-quick alloys, 15's and they're spanking good
Cost me like £31 a corner for toyo proxes

Ive been trying to find out if 205/50/R15's will still fit on them if anyone knows?

What effect does this have on the speedo ?

 

[RichMcc]

On mine... none it came with 15's lol
But I guess if you change the radius then it will effect your speedo slightly. I doubt there would be much in it since the 16's use a smaller tyre

How did it feel better?

 

[RichMcc]

The ligher the wheel the more nimble the car will feel and the better it will handle
With my last car I went from a big fat heavy 17's with a thin lick of rubber around it to a light 15 with plenty of tyre and the difference was simply awesome!

bet the 17s were grippier tho?

Ive seen this done before, slammed on coilies. Fits fine mate, no rubbing.

Bet they were not gripper 17s ruin small cars !!

 

[RichMcc]

Yeah more grip but thats why I wanna fit a 205 instead of 195 to my 15's which were the same width as the 17's I had.

Also had the turning circle of a bus on 17's.....

Had a Fiesta Zetec-S before and 17's killed it, same as with the clio's imo

Also I think smaller wheels give you better 0-60 and bigger wheels are better for top end but dont quote me on that!

 

[sweetkidda]

any of the above clio on the side??

looks mint that pic

 

[RichMcc]

not sure if its the same car
