is it a mk3 cab? if so 205/50 will be fine.

Saying that the extra centimetre won't make much of a difference anyway. Depends on the tyre too, some are quite rounded, some are quite square (profile wise obviously!)

I reckon that 205s might just scrub especially if it's lowered as they were 185/55s on cabs as standard. Ask the tyre place about the 205s.

If you have 195/45 on 15's your speedo will be reading 2 mph too slow, your better off with 195/50 or 185/55 on 15 inch wheels
