195 tyres on a vtr 185 rim
is this ok to do?
so would it be possible to put 195/50/14 tyres on? or would not work and therefore get toyo proxes cf-1?
*EDIT* the question is actually will a 195 tyre fit a vtr 185 standard wheel?

195/50/14's will go on a standard 14' vtr wheel, if you can find them, they re a very odd size. As long as thesize of the rim is the saame as tyre (14' tyre on a 14' rim, not 15' tyre on a 14' rim) it will go, you could almost have anything you wanted really.

Has anyone tried this? Will the 195 tyre over hang as its a 185 wheel? any pics if possible, and is it safe?

You can fit a 195 tyre yes. I don't know if you could get away with 195/55/14 but its a lot easier to find than 50's.

no probs, there won't be a lot of difference sa the difference in width is only 10mm, they will probably look near enough the same

195/55/14's will be fine, they will be 10mm wider and the sidewall will be a slight bit higher aswell, but there won't be a mega diffierence.

well most of the 106 rallye owners run that size tyre on the rallye 14inch
steels, it is fine.
it also decreases the rolling radius, hence marginal better acceleration.
Less tyre wall means marginally better handling due to less flex in the tyre.

I just had some 195's fitted on a 6½" rim, and its JUST inside the arch.. the rim is about 1 mm from the back arm.. REALLY close.. the alloys have 15 in offset.. So i really depends on the offset of ur alloy/rim
