Changing tyres

[TimR26]

I've got 195 45 16 tyres on my 172 alloys at the moment. Would I be able to use 205 55 16 tyres without any problems? I guess the speedo would be out but would they fit ok. Only reason I ask is its the only size I can find the tyre I want in. Thanks

What tyre is it you want? if you dont mind me asking.

 

[TimR26]

Hankook RS2

Out of stock at the moment, but certainly available.

Camskill have got 205 55 16s in stock hence my question.

What suspension are you running?

 

[TimR26]

Standard at the moment but got Vmaxx's coming in few weeks from the group buy.

Won't 55's be to big?

I imagine it depends on how low you're going, could be clearance issues. Might be worth pm'ing someone like Fred, he'll most likely be able to give you an immediate answer.

Yeah, they wouldn't fit as my car stands atm

I'm planning to lower it 40mm. I might leave it till they've got the 45s in stock.

I would mate, unless you want to remove your archliners.

I would, if your current tyres have enough tread.
