In a kind of opposite to the stance type thing, has anyone gone up a size on their tyres? I'm a child of the 70s and love the balloon tyre look, the roads here also really do not suit low profile tyres and lowering cars...

Any thoughts on tyre sizes that will fit? Mk2.5 on OEM 14s and suspension, and don't want to go too crazy.

Yeah, 13s defo won't fit over the brakes.

Not thinking about going too silly. I'm due a new set of tyres in the not so distant future and chewing over my options...

So if I do 195 or 205 on the same 60 profile, will if bugger up the handling? I can't see anything rubbing as there is a lot of space in the arches...

Standard 14" rim.
