Very nice!

New tyres?

Do the 205s (as opposed to 195s) work fine on that wheels?

Hey everyone, Hyperkid. The wheels are from a ford focus Zetec. So they came standard with 205/50/16's. Which are the wrong profile for my car (bought them from SimonR here on the forums)

So all i did when buying new tyres was get the next profile down, so 45. They work Perfectly, no scrubbing/rubbing. Perfect.

The tyres + alignment($40ish bucks)+locknuts(bout $35ish) cost me $900 all up.

And im soo happy with the result. Now when cornering at 160kmph the car feels very stable and very grippy. Last night i was fooling around with a VT SS commodore through some twisties and he had NO hope whatso ever. But on the straight, lol, get smoked.
