The tire shop will let you try for fit,do it both front and rear, on Factory Fuch 2.0 205/60 just clear the front struts and the rear fenders.. running 50's will be a different fit, as them come out at a lower point and really do not fill the fender wells vertically, and will give you more drive feel for everything on the road, a bit rougher. Depends on your preference of road noise and comfort vs.more sensitivity and feeling. On nice roads not an issue but on uncared for or high use roads your gonna notice it more. Basically 205 is the widest your going to get without planning for it..
Just to clarify, Dan T has a point about your rims, I know nothing of aftermarket rims.. |
