Anyone ever used these on their 6? They are the same rolling radius as the standard size.
Or is there some simple reason why not?

Cant be surely?

Sidewall will be bigger so it will over read.

Although 90 on the dash is only 91.7 with them on

rims aren't wide enough for them to work really, the 205 runs a 185 on the same width rim!

IIRC the clio williams used a 185 on a 6.5 rim!

My Williams 1 had 195's on the original speedlines.

Think I will stick to 195's.

The early '90s Audi 80/90 had 205s on a 6" rim from the factory. That is not to say it is ideal in handling terms though.

They were 205/60-15 from memory. The factory dampers in those cars were filled with marshmallows so the balloon tyres wouldn't have been much of an issue.

Try some 185/55/15's instead, my new wheels came with them so I thought I'd leave em on and burn them off, saves my PS3's! LOOS is fantastic now
