have i made a mistake with tyre choices
i have been searching for some time for a good deal on tyre prices for my build. i found a brand new pair of yoko 205/60/13 for a good price and
bought them for my 6" wide fronts
i then found a new pair of 235/45/13 for my 8" rears!
when stood beside each other the 205's seem quite a bit taller than the 235's but was wondering if they will be ok? or if i should sell
the yokos and get narrower fronts? opinions please!

get on with the build then get the treads when its nearing completion phone MK Sportscars and ask them or Chris Mason both have manafactures and run
the S200 Steve Keenans is running around 230bhp at the wheels
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Also, 205's on a 6" wide wheel? That's very narrow - I'd be looking at a 7" or maybe a 7.5" for that width of
tyre...
The fronts you mentioned will have an overall diameter of ~576mm, whereas the rears will have an overall diameter of ~542mm.
To match the rears, either try and find 205/50/13's or 195/55/13's.
However, the car will at least be driveable with what you already have.
