OK, I need to get some new tyres soon, so I'm after some info.
I've currently got 16" Rota's shod in 195/45/16 Yoko A539's all round. I'm doing a trackday on Saturday so I'm likely to kill the front pair, but I could do with changing all of them as the rears are nearing limit.
I went to Celtic Tyre's earlier today and got some prices. I can get the same 195/45/16 A539's for £60 per tyre fitted. They also have a pair of 205/40/16's, which are £66 each fitted and are also Yoko.
Now, the Yoko's I have now have a slight stretch on the Rota's, so I'm assuming the rim is 7.5 inches and the tyres are 7. Will the 205's fit without much scrubbing? I do get scuffing now which I think is down to a bolt holding the arch liner in (Which is now removed). Has anyone had any experience with 205 section tyres on 16" rims before? Will they fit on the rear if I get scrubbing up front?
