Tyres
 
The tyres on the 180 are 205/45-17.............I know the middle number is the aspect ratio, ie percentage of height compared to width. What would happen if I fitted 205/50-17's? Would it make my speedo run slow, as of course the wheels would go faster...........?

Only asking cos at work we getting rid of 15 Uniroyal 205/50-17ZRs as we have changed tyre suppliers and uniroyal and contis have been replaced by Pirelli and michelin......................:mbounce:

Speedo reads 70mph your actual speed will be mph 72.33 Most speedo's seem to under read so my "guess" is it should be acurate.

How cheap :idea:

Also it will jack the car up 21mm. The down side...

Not sure how cheap yet, but most probably the price the garage paid for them. Only fits a few of our cars.......... May wait to see how cheap I can get the 205/45-17s unfer the new contract...........
