[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 512550, member: 3481"] Agree with Alex on this, no difference between changing gear ratios and tyre sizes, as long as the end result is that your cruising speed falls at approx 3500rpm then you will have no issues. More of an issue is getting larger tyres on the back of your bay especially if you have a flat rear arch 68-70, Ego had his rear axle tube shortened so he could run larger tyres on the rims hes running so its not completely straightforward as wheel offset comes into play, I definitely would not get 205's on the back of mine but might squeeze 195's.
