What the postie brought today!

205/60/13 is 57 cm diameter and 185/6013 is 55cm (edit - mistake corrected) , so 10mm difference in ride height. I would not bother in road car, in track - needs lot of tests as change in ride height changes angle of wishbone and steering rod, and ride height changing is involved with change of sprong preload, lot of fun

Well i was concerned about the width of my arches it might look a little silly with skinny tyres im not sure if thers much difference in height both being 60 profile they said it would feel much sharper turning in to corners and less heavy to steer which it isnt an issue to me .

Here’s my car with 185/60 13 front wheels. Whilst the wheels don’t fill the arches, I don’t think they look horrendous.

 

 

 

The car was initially fitted with 195/50 15 wheels, which probably did look a little better. However the change to a smaller front tyre and rim width in my opinion, has made the car much more agile.

Smaller sidewalls, less flex upon turning I suppose?

And the steering feels a lot lighter too.
