    I know that vnss rims are 15inch what i'm wanting to know is do you all reckon that if i put the 205/60's on my vnss rims they will look funny.As my tyres i have on the front now are 205/65's and the side wall of them is bigger so the 205/60's might look abit small.Also i have Intensa 215/60's on the rear would they be alright on the front to or are they abit fat for the front ?

    Default go bigger

    i would go for 225's all round on 15's. The more tread your puttin down the better and it would help fill out your guards abit, ie not look funny, smaller looks funnier

    I wouldnt put a 225 on a 6" wide rim champ. Get no side wall flex so it would handle worse. I have 225's on a 7" wide rim and it handles great.
