Anyone using or have experience of these
4x Nankang NS-2R 205/45 R16 87W (MEDIUM)
Will they fit on 16" 182 wheels ??

Mr Plums · Apr 9, 2016

Why wouldn't they?

If you got 19" they wouldn't.

Not very well explained, I mean width wise as they currently have 195 45 16 on my wheels

Yes they will be fine,any wide spacers fitted?as that can be the only problem you might have with rubbing or very low ride height.They are very good tyres though my wife just fitted some on her Subaru.SJ.

Sorry I didn't mean to come across like that, the 205 width is the size that the 182's come out of the factory with, obviously you didn't know this, as above the 205's are the perfect size for the 182 wheels.

I'm going to try these tyres next they have great reviews.

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

I may try these or the ado8r

No worries ...

Is the car lowered? Only time I had issues on running was from the front bumper brackets. You can bend them out the way. Video below shows the lovely noise it makes

The 120 compound is the softer/one to go for isn't it?

What are the 180s like?

I'll find out next Friday when I try them myself but I want to know what to expect in advance

That sounds awful!

I'd be straight back in bending them out of the way lol

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

180's I reckon will be fine. The ado8's are 180 iirc. Rsr are 140 or try the new nankangs (I think) that are 80 lol (I think)

Once you get used to the noise it's actually quite relaxing.

It's not, lol

Not sure mate, theres two different turnini offsets so I can only guess it depends which ones you have, ill have a guess at the trophy ones being 205 and the cup 195 but im not 100%, thats just a guess mate.

The day goes so quick and my memory is crap. Do ten laps moan about the noise. Do ten laps moan about the noise. Can you see how the day went. Awesome day though @LeeRS

Good good. They should be more grippy than say, a contisport 3 then.

Which should be interesting as they'll be on the back haha!

I still want RSRs next. I'll have to chew through these quick.

LeeRS · Apr 9, 2016

Coukd of been another next friday if you sorted your life out.

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

rsrs are a safe bet. I still fancy trying something else. And after the car ignoring me after my latest 'for sale' thread I need to treat it to some new shoes

I have no excuse. Well I do but I have no excuse

boorek · Apr 9, 2016

where are those brackets you can bent? thats exactly noise I'm getting! need to sort it out then!

about nankangs... great tyre for money, I had them on 320bhp Evo VI with no problems (treadwear 180) now I was looking for 120 in clio size but everywhere they out of stock so I went to federal 595RSR (68 quid a corner) hopefuly they will be fine.

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

Yeah be fine mate. If you look behind the front bumper you will see the metal brackets. Hammer at the ready

boorek · Apr 9, 2016

Them with bolt holding bumper in place? Will it allow me taking bumper off?

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

You don't need to remove the bumper mate. A ramp would be easier but a jack will be fine

I think he means if he hammers the brackets will the bumper still be removable?

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

Yeah be fine

boorek · Apr 9, 2016

Do we talking about them? If anyone can, picture will be much appreciated!

R1 JIM · Apr 9, 2016

Would these fit on my wheels ??
No easy finding decent tyres for these bloody 16 inch wheels !!
Is the 50 profile to high

Nice vid , sounds horrible ... Can't have done your tyres much good .

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

They were actually ok.

imprezaworks · Apr 9, 2016

Don't get the 50 profile. Other option is to get 15's, cheaper tyres.

Space the front upright assembly away from the top mount bearing so that it hits the bump stop before the tyre rubs on the bodywork.
