Tyre sizes

[RS133]

Hey guys girls,

This has probably been covered already so apologies if that's the case,

My front tyres are due a change now so getting a few quotes etc as you do,
I was told instead of 195/40/17 to consider 205/40/17 as they're more readily available and work out cheaper

Now my question is will they fit and will there be a need to fit spacers etc?
Can't say I'll be keen on rubbing

Cheers for any help/advice u can throw at me

Yh they do fit I put 205/40/17 on mine last year and makes a difference

Does it handle better ?? as they will be a wider tyre

 

[louis]

Year if you get the wright Trye it's really good i think

Well I had a zetec s before my Twingo and I ran it on toyo proxies and I couldn't find anything that came close to them they was just as good in the wet as the dry

Iv had loads of types and find conti the best to be fair

I've put my original Wind alloys and tyres on ebay. There's a good 6.5mm or tread left on all tyres (Contis) in 205/40 17.

How would a Twingo look on the 17" diamond cut Wind alloys?
