I would give it a try.
because they are recommending 5.5 - 7.0, I'd definitely give it a try the A tires are really really really good! the only problems I see are: 1) your giving up a tiny bit of the tires capability 2) a hoosier 205 may or may not fit inside of a stock fender. Hoosiers are made wider than any other tire... so a 205 hoosier is going to be nearly an inch wider than a 205 street tire.. you should be able to cut the lip, bend the lip, or pull/roll the fender enough pretty easily. A 5.5inch rim is probably not going to change the need to pull the fender lip any different than you would have to do with a 7inch rim. Plus you can stay 4 bolt and find different 4bolt rims that are wider if you want to. There are 4bolt 7's out there. |
