Would this be an ok set-up??

205/40/16 on the rear of my VTR.

195/40/16 on the front.

2 reasons- Been offered two brand new 205's for £25.

and i heard 205's scrub like mad on the front.

Or bite the bullet and pay £200 for full set of 195's.

Yeah should be ok. No major problems with the rear.

If she's lowered just a little trim on the metal work with tin snips behind the plastic arches will be needed (don't cut the arch clip holes away!!).

195/40/16 on the front should be no problems there.

not sure if it is safe having different sized tyres on the front and back, google it
