Tyre sizes

Post by keith fellowes »

Currently running 8" rims with 225/50x15 on the back and 7" rims with 205/50x15 on the front
I'm thinking of going Pirelli P6000 but the rear size would be 215/60x15 and the front 185/70x15. There seems to be conflicting views on whether these would fit or be a stretch too far
Has anyone got any experience of this? It would also make the speedo work correctly and not be 10% fast
