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

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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
