Tyres for 15's

[RichMcc]

I noticed my drivers side tyre is worn on the inside so trackings out but excuse for new ones

Can I fit a wider tyre to a standard 15" ph-quick alloy (OZ F1)

I was thinking 205/50/R15? Im running 195 toyo proxes at the moment but want more grip.

Would there be any issues with this size?

 

[RichMcc]

bump, anyone know if these tyres will fit?

Bump, as I would like to know the answer to this question also.

Would be interested to know which different tyre sizes that can be put on the 15" 172 ph.1 wheels?

supose you could run 205's but they would look abit crap with the rims being only 6.5j wide!!

just get a good quality 195/50 and get a better suspention set up if you want more grip in the corners

I believe you can get 205/40/15 in very limited numbers.

But they would surely just make it tramline more and less progressive on the limit?

mytyres.co.uk have michellin exalto pe2 195/50/15s for £44 at the moment, that would be my choice.

Pilots 195/50/15s are all round on mine, i think if you go wider youll scrub the rr wheel arch liners

 

[RichMcc]

Pretty sure they're 15x7 rims... will double check tomoz!

205's DO fit f1's. but i'd stick with the 195's tbh!

Same here any happy. Think mine are 195/55/15. Whats the diff in 50 to 55?

5mm extra in the the tyre wall is the difference!!

just stickwith 50 profiles and they arent expensive for a good quality ones!!

 

[172 Dave]

5mm isnt the difference its as follows

195 - tyre 195mm wide
50 - sidewall height is 50% of tyre width

 

[White16valver]

As above! lol

55s will have 'softer' sidewalls as they are higher profile, and may not be as 'sharp' to turn in as 50s.

Valvers/williams were fitted with 185/55/15 as standard though, and they have no problem with sharp turn in :evil:
