"Angrybeats" over at MINI2.com has done it, and is pleased with the results.

That's all well and good, but how about 205's. I had one technician think it's possible, but I haven't given it a shot yet. Does anyone know?

I can assure you all that we have fitted the following tires below on the stock 15x5.5" rims:

195/50 Toyo T1-s
195/55 Dunlops
205/50 Falken Azenis
205/50 Falken 502's

I will be mounting a set of meaty 205/50 Azeni's on my stock 9-hole 15" rims for out track day next week - I will even post pictures. 205's on stock 15" rims look REALLY nice - almost to the point where I may give up my panasports
