Got a set of 16" team dynamics on me RST. They have a 195/40 tyre on but its is a bit stretched. I think I could get away with fitting a 205/40 but I dont know about clearance? (16" with a 40 profile is the same diameter as a std rs wheel)

Does anybody have a 205 width wheel on there rst? any issues. The car is lowered 25mm. cheers.

 

i would think you would be ok there mate

 

Yeah? I think it should be as it was lowered 60mm on these 195's and didnt scrub. So although Im gonna have a bit more width ive got that 40mm of travel on my side!

Best to get a few seconds from folks though as i dont wanna splash out on 4 new shoes and then get that awful sound from my arches! lol

 

i run 215/40/16 on mine and no problems

 

YIKES! thats a girthy wheel. What suspension you running?

 

205/40/17 on mine

 

avo coilovers at front and mef rear coil's

 

i run 215 40 16 on a 8inch rim and they dont catch

 

I run 17x8 with a 205/40/17 tyre and they slightly catch the back arches but I havent trimmed them yet. Might have something to do with the 8j rim though.

 

ive got 215/40/16 on mine

 

i have 205/55/16 on a 7j rim dont rub arch just catch on full lock

 

Cheers for the feedback then guys! i should be safe with a whimpy 205 then

 

Got 215 40 16 on mine and does not catch.

running 205/45/16 on mine...

 

Any pictures of 205/45/16?
I'm finding it hard to get my hands on a good set of 204/40/16's. I suppose its a bit of an odd size.

 

take a look in my profile. if you can't get a clue i will post better photos when i go home, because now i'm at work...

 

ahh cheers man. The side on picture gives me the right idea.

 

glad for helping you. I'll add a new when i go home

 

here you can see it better

 

I run 205/45-16 don't have any problems at all...
