I`m running 195/65-15 tyres on 5,5" 5-Spokes. I have a wide axle, too. That Combo fit`s under Standard Fenders. cheers Tobi Title: Re: guys advice needed on rear tyres Post by: roonster on October 09, 2014, 14:37:08 pm cheers tobi

It seemed to me that the 205's had too much bounce and weight to them. The new tires fill the wheel arch nicely.

I also like the large diameter for a street car, it makes the stock gearbox a bit longer.. I run them with wide axle and 40mm drums on 5,5 Rivieras. |
