tyre width

hey guys, from looking at many tyre reviews.. ive seen that 195's can be used.. is this on standard willy rims? or am i missing something? will be looking to replace mine which are 185..just wondering if the 195's will fit.. and if its a problem to do so?

Well as standard the tyres are 185 55 15 but many people now have 195 50 15 fitted as they're more readily available across most make & model tyres so they di fit fine :wink:

No problem at all with 195's, they fit straight on.

Benefit of 195 is that a lot of them come with 'rim protector' where the tyre sticks out further than the rim, so if you lightly scrape a kerb you won't (hopefully) damage the rim :)

Even a 205 will work fine on standard williams rims, although IME offers no grip advantage over the 195 on these cars, 195 seems to be the optimum.
