Quick question about tracking/camber

[Andy Vee]

Just wondered if you change the tyre size , do you need to change the above and if so how do you work out what to set it too . I've got 205*45*16's on a mk1 hlx and as part of sorting the car out when i got it had the tracking done as standard ( think its 0 degree's +/- 10 Mins ) but now wondering if it should be different ? .

dont think you need to change anything. thats an unusual choice of tyre size btw. most go for 195/45...

Yeah it was what was on the car when i got it , i've had new tyres as the old ones were worn and just went for what was on there but begining to think next time i'll get 205/50 or even 55 as they are very stiff being such a low profile .

I would think that 205/50 would be too big a profile Andy. That's the size I have on 15s.

Ok then , looking to see what other people put on their 16's ( although i wont be changing them till they've had a bit of wear ) , as im finding it crashes around a lot on these ( lots more than my old 1.6 which was just on 14 steelies ) ,
