Yes, It's not only illegal, it looks strange ;) I can try to take some pics of my colleagues CV tomorrow at work. > Our convertible is not lowered, so it could take a little higher percentage > tyre wall size, but I'd like to go with a ratio equivalent to the standard > or perhaps the standard ratio if the 205/55 look a bit "fat".
