205 tyres on trophy alloys

As above are they ok??

I thought they should have 195's or doesnt it really matter?

Surely this would just give you more grip

Then again it could it might not fit the alloy properly :S

205s will be fine. A 16" Turini can take up to a 215 width, obviously with relevant side profile.

Oh and yes you would get slightly more contact with the road but its literally 1cm on each corner, what with the camber on the wheels I doubt you'll notice a huge difference.

I thought the Trophys came with 205's as standard anyway?

 

[Englebert]

I think they do, normal 182s do.

I would keep with 195s if you have a 172. It might not sound like a big jump but you would notice duller turn in. 182s have different geometry to counteract this.

i have a 172 and did have 195's on, i now have PE2 205's and they fit fine, no problem on full lock or anything
