Technical Tyres

Hi, can I put 205/50/16 tyres and wheels straight on my coop that, as standard, should have 205/50/15 or do I need to modify/lower? Thanks

Do you have an NA model? All turbo's are 16 inch

Hi. yeah! Mine is the 20v na with 15's on. It's just that I need to replace all 4 tyres and my choice is limited and expensive...I have been offered 16" rims and top range tyres all with 5-6 mm tread on them for £150.00. The rims are in great condition too. Just not too sure if they will fit mine?? I think the offset may be a little different coming off a 20vt cos of the brembo's! I think the stud distance should be the same though. I know it will affect the speedo slightly. Thanks

Daz, I've seen at least ten 20V N/A's with the 20VT alloys on. They go straight on and the effect on the speedo is negligible. They look great too. I'd go for it

Thanks for that, think I'll go for it. Just wanted to be sure before I make the 200 mile round trip to get them.
