Going for a smaller tyre will always make your rolling radius smaller so speedo will be out etc.

All of this makes for scare mongering.

It doesnt actually make that much difference.

But it sounds really clever, and is a good reason for people on this forum to keep their cars standard, and just dream of other mods. lol

I have no idea tbh mate, but I was going to run 20mm spacers if I kept the VR6 alloys on :) maybe 15mm with no arch work pre-done and stretched tyres? :)
