[gekko]

i really don't know (they belong to bmw) , but i'm getting new rims soon and need new tires as well
what should i buy , can i put on 205 with another offset with 16 inch ?

what is the offset on the rims?

The offset or rear-wheel drive cars (like BMWs) is typically a lot different than front-wheel drive cars. 205 is no problem if the offset is right (40mm).

umm thats odd. i have 205/50/R15 with my GSR rims. and they rub and i got 2.5 drop. something wrong then

Just get some other wheels with the right offset and go have fun.

Some of those wheels have 45 mm offset I think. I'm down 1.4" on 205s and have never had any rubbing.

i'l go with 16 , 17 would be overkill here in norway (land of speedbumps and nasty roads) and 205/45
