G60 0 Posted May 1, 2003 is there any problem in fitting 205 series rubber instead of 195 to stock size 15" rims? the car has 195 50 R15 on it now.. i'd like to go up to 205 50 R15 when i get my new tyres. will i have to change offsets at all? i already get a slight rub on the right side when the wheel is cranked all the way, but its just the plastic liner.. so i can dremel it or just take it out. ..the car is fairly low. i'm not looking for any more work right now.. have enough on my plate.. i just want to know if the 205s will go on without much fuss/alteration. thanks! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 1, 2003 VR6s have 205/50/15s as standard - on 6.5J x 15 wheels, so go for it! Kev 94 VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Posted May 1, 2003 need to find out if the rims on the car are 6.5J or 6J.. will the 205s fit either way? should i consider going to 215s? i want wide.. but not too wide so i dont kill the ps pump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 2, 2003 The standard Corrado 15" BBS wheel is 6.5J (ET33) so go for it. Shouldn't make much difference if they're 6J. I used to have 205x50x13s (5J rim) on my MK1 GTI, so you can put pretty much anything on. They look very balloon like though and you'll put a lot more load on the steering rack. Ever wonder why BMWs eat steering racks? Look at the size of the their wheels! Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
