McBreadhead Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Currently have 4 x 185mm AO21s but the rears need replacing. Is it worth getting slighter wider 195mm as I've always thought the car looks undertyred from the rear or will I need substantial suspension tweaks?

Johnty Lyons Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 If you want it to look the part fit 13s on back with 205s 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBreadhead Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 That would mean new wheels which I must avoid. What would such a move do to the handling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBreadhead Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Anyone have experience of fitting 195 x 14" to rears only, assuming I can get hold of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL FLY Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 195/60-14s will be fine on the rear with 185/60-14s on the front. Or as Johnty says, get some 13" rims and put 205/60-13s on the rear. I've just done 1200 miles round Yorkshire in them and they work a treat. Roy. See willfly.net for more info.
