Clio 200t tyres

[Shocker]

After trying a few sets of tyres in my 200t I've found tyres to be ok for grip but as I've gone for the cup 18" wheels I'm stuck with only 3 options for the 205/40/18
If I go up to 215 there is a lot more choice but what I'm wondering is has anyone else tried to fit larger width tyres on their 200t
The 205s seem to fill the arch and looks like you couldn't fit a 215 in
I've not found a friendly tyre place willing to put 215 on and the take back off if they rub

Just put that size into blackcircles, and wow, you're pretty damn limited on choice!

I'm sure 215 will be fine.

I run 225 width tyres on track with lowered suspension with no issues.

Standard width is 215 for my car

205 is very narrow for a 18 i would definitely try 215 someone must of done it?

215 won't go without spacers, they'll rub. You can get away with 5-10mm spacers front and rear iirc.

There is really only one tyre you should put on the car anyway. No matter the width or anything, you won't get much better than the Michelin Pilot Supersport. The Dunlops are good as well, it is a hot hatch it deserves the best.
