Avon rear tires
Hi friends,
some days ago I received my definitive "mot chart", there is a mistake in this chart : they written rear tires 205/55 r15 instead of
195/55/ r15.
So yesterday I put 205/55/15 on ET43 wheels, on the left (bigger) arch it is ok and on right arch is just (for a miracle) ok.
So if it is of any help 205 tires can be used but pay attention at the Wheel ET. (I know lots of you use ET35, so with this ET you can't)
Car really looks nicer with that tires
Ciao Rudy
Sorry about my English

I worked out that I could get away with my 245/35 16s with an ET of 50.....
Unfortunately after I had already bought the tyres Compomotive phoned to say they couldn't do the et I had asked for - the best they could do is
an et of 10 
Now I have them fitted I can see I need to add 20mm to both rear wings.. well at least I can even them up!

I used ally mesh to bridge the gap then p40 fibre glass to fill the gap and finished it off with filler.
