Will it fitt on the std rims?

 

yeah that will fit ive done it with 205/50/15's on my standard rims

 

Nice one! I'll be getting some new rubber tomorrow then!
Thanks alot!

Oh, and welcome to the forum

 

no, the profile of the tyre is far to large...... it will throw your gearing out and cause terrible handling, its probably to tall without arch rolling.

the standard tyre is 195/ 50. 50% of 195 is 97.5 mm (this is the hieght of the tyre wall

205/ 65, is to tall, 65% of 205 is about 107 mm. to tall.

dont fit them

 

Hmmm...iam only fitting them as I need to get some miles on the new engine (snowtyres). don't want to drive the car with summertyres even if there is no snow on the roads now.

Should be ok for some trips along the motorway, should'nt it? Don't care about handling at the moment

What do you think?

 

had snow tyres on asubaru, nearly klle me lol. if theres no snow, theres no need, ur speedo wont read corect. ur better of getting some 14" xr3 or steelies and sticking a 65profile on them

 

lol, i think being Norway there is plenty of snow. They are too big though, i've got some snow tyres on 14 in rims, which will still fit over std rst brakes.

 

To answer the question:
Yes, they will nicely fit the std rims.
No, they won't fit under mk3/mk4 Escort.

 

i have yokohamas 205/50/15 on STD rims go for it but not 65's it will tuch your arches

 

I sat the tire next to my 205/40 17" wheels today, and as you say they are too high. My 17" looked small next to it lol.

Pisses me of, as I could get those tires CHEAP!

I'll keep looking then.
Thanks everyone
