205 50 15 as long as u dont minnd the fact it will lower the car and put ure speedo out about 9mph at 100mph (real speed)

best for handling i reckon

looks like this:

I had almost decided on 205/50/15 and now that Toyo do the TR-1 I think I be up for them, thanks for that, I will let you know. Very nice motor BTW looks right with the lower profile on and will tighten up handling.

Regards Mark.

Haven't some put 50 at the front and 55 at the back, so you get good steering, and lowers the front a bit, but you don't mess up the speedo.
This is what i'm thinking of doing anyway.

Has anyone ever gone wider than 205?

i had 205/50/15 on my dolphin grey 325 when i bought it, and even on cheapo tryes it handled really REALLY well! agree on the speedo tho, its a bit of a bummer having your speedo reading out - means you have to constantly guess with speeed cameras!

i was gonna go 225 rear with the bbs split rims that i had (once upon a time) that would look simply fat, but im not sure you can squeeze 225 under the front wings with lowered suspension or standard shocks. i think you would have to have solid shocks and a max of 40mm drop to go 225 on the front.

may be wrong, but +2p.

Hmm so you could have 215 or something at the back... used to have 205 at the back and 195 on the front when i had bottletops and they look pretty good!

Scott was just wondering if you sent that window seel? No prob if you haven't, just curious.

I ran 205/50s on the front and 205/55s on the rear, youll notice the difference in looks if the car isnt low enough!
Handling i didnt find much of a difference tho

I havnt taken Dobbies 320 yet mate (which the window seal would come off, as my breaker is a 2door) The one on dobbies car potentially has ur name on it tho, as i still intend having it.
