Depends on clearance, every car is slightly different so you need to check that your current tyres arent within about 5mm of anything, as thats the
radius and width increase between 195 50 15s and 205 50 15s

I have 205/50/15 T1Rs on my Indy and they are fine.
I haven't had the car that long, so haven't really been pushing too much, but I got caught the other day in a bit of rain, and it was
fine, even when pressing on a bit over the twisties.
I had T1Rs on an Impreza a few years ago, and they were good on that - really good in the wet to be honest.

Yes, fit them, if you want your car to skate about on wet roads, and even dry ones !
Mine got 13/205 all round, and i will be changing them to 195 at the very most

I've got Toyo T1R's on my Meerkat RV8 and they are really good. I'm sure other tyres can produce more max grip in the dry but these
are really good predictable wet and dry tyres. I've driven a couple of times in the wet now and even with some serious torque from my 3.5 litre
V8, it remains controllable. Good price too.

Wheel width is a factor 205's on 6" rims and pushing it, 205's on 7" ideal
