Hi Andy,

Not sure of the answer to your questions.

Have you had a look in the FAQs ?

There's a lot of useful info in there, and I know there's some wheel/tyre info in there.

Don't do it!

Your insurance company won't pay you when you prang it - and you have some explaining to do.

It will be phyically possible to put 205s on the rear but it is not advisable unless you like going sideways alot.....

As for the alloys, 5x114.3 is the correct PCD but you need to state what the other dimensions are (diameter, width and offset) before anyone will be able to tell you if they will fit or not.

Chris.
