185/60's are about right, got some on some 6.5" wheels so should fit fine. don't think you'd want to go much wider on tyres without having a wider rim.

I have 185/70's on 5.5" - I went for the old-fashioned look!

These actually make the ride less harsh, but there's not a great choice of makes - fortunately I did manage to get a set of Yokos, which are working very well.

You will get 021Rs in that size for a very good price indeed.

I haven't worn mine out yet - although I am trying hard!

I am running 185 60 13 H , I wish I had gone for 70 profiles, a better ride, a bit more ground clearance, better selection of makes.

I managed to find six 60's for £60 so just had to buy them

you can put 205/60s on the rear if you want (its done on quite a few rgb cars but thats due to be limited to 6" wheels) with 185s on the front
